The clock’s a liar dressed in gold
Selling seconds it already sold
Mirrors trade youth for a grin
And history hums beneath the skin

Dreams are debts we never pay
Signed in light, erased in gray
Every echo wears my name
Pretending time was ever tame

Step through the hush where hours bleed
Past and future plant their seed
What you chase is chasing too
The past remembers more than you
