lyrics

in the space between
your old memories and
all the things that
you've been keeping from me

i guess iam
an eagles iris
within an old man's eyes
it's a clever run around but
know i'll catch him in time

oh you'll catch him in time
but is he really in time?
when he's whispering to the wilds of his querrying mind
and the fear it doesn't end
until the years within him
side
with the answer to a question that has him foldin in five
as the mold breaks the skin
well the cold it can't recite
the words it used to use when it was warming up ice
and wars that used to soothe
they are read and taken twice
like the ways we used to move when we were young and hypnotized

we were young and hypnotized
to stay inside the lines
but that is not nor what we thought could ever be defined
and while we're on it let's get off
before we lose what we could find
but if you feel it that's the top and that's the realest kind of shine
when the ink starts to blot
and flow begins to fine
that means the needle needs to drop
for the peaking of pines
where the echoes can just stop
and the space can render time
from a place that isn't caught
half reflecting off mine

And the wait can't escape on the edges of it's ride
cuz it bathes in the blaze of it's own suicide
and the pages never fade as the ageless coincide
in their endless encounters
encrypt co and sign
here for lease
you will hold this in time
for 83 years then it's tatters to the brine
so if you scatter to the wind know your whims are that of mine
and the ways we use to win are woven throughout this rhyme
