in time (echo song)

Jewelry shines from the rear-view stage 

We nearly threw it all away

Fill a blank line on a made-up page 

And fight to find the light of day 

Sensing stagnancy, sight drags me 

Inside, out-fly, northward bound 

Manual van-flight, reap, resign

Resound, release, surround and pay 

In time, we’ll all get burned 

In time, we’ll all return

Pulling me out from rest

To see which puzzle has coalesced

Wrecked angles, two deep breaths

The goals we missed and lost

Trading the weight between shoulders

Wading through signs of a horizon in smolders

The pains of growing older

The gold amidst the cost

In time, we’ll all get burned 

In time, we’ll all return 

All those times we once expressed now cryptic

We found our way, it’s over, here’s that triptych

I’m just tired with my headphones on

Wound and wired when my head goes gone

Eyes on fire in an echo song, in an echo song, in an echo song 

In time, we’ll all get burned 

In time, we’ll all return
