Seconds

歌詞

Young boy hiding in a locker room A pencil in his hand Grinding circles into the wall He doesn’t understand Why the others treat him as invisible Or they punch him with their smiles He dreams of a place where there is no shade A platform to be seen for miles Close your eyes Let the moments pass Like sand grain seconds Through an hourglass Young boy climbing to a desert high A message in his hand Tracing circles around the clouds His destiny is planned Would the airwaves choke when it made the news? Would the television sigh? Ghost reporters in a bitter sun Taking lessons in the way to die Better to forget than to comprehend Imagination colliding with real Gone without a trace from an empty place Leaving nothing sacred, nothing to reveal Damon dancing into the light A microphone in his hand Turning circles across the stage They move to his command And the audience doesn’t know about that day When he gambled with the sacred breath But his blood runs sober as the curtains fall Like the sand upon the face of death Better to remember and memorize Every motion that carried you here Couldn’t change the time only your state of mind As the scars upon your spirit disappear When your world begins to fray When the rules refuse to play Somewhere there is promise for another serving When the soul begins to bleed A moment is all you need Long enough to feel the weight of your decision Hesitate and regain your vision Seconds separate you from the fall Save a moment
