Tourbillon Lyrics

Cold sweats, nervously checking my bank account

Feeling voices in a vacant house

Something fuzzy in my head but i can't make it out

Who shoots a snake, just to save a mouse?

Flashbacks as a youth, running through the woods

"It's gonna storm later. i can already taste it, now"

The way a bear trap can snap around your ankle in a second

Followed by an eternal struggle to take it out

You got to look down at your feet at all times when you walk

Or simply reassess the places where you traipse about

I saw the universe inside a cup of coffee one morning, brainstorming

Just happened to see it, gazing down

Sometimes, the mask that we bear and the past that we bear

Can scratch the attic floor to make a sort of grating sound

Life can be the worst. an accursed timeline

With no breaks, and no grace periods to space it out

The peaks and valleys of existence

You need to learn when to clamp down on the transients

And when to shape them out

See the shape of rain take form to create a rainstorm

Just to orchestrate my favourite sound

There seem to be a certain beauty in the way we frown

And what it mean to not, but i never appreciated how

We dance a grim fandango in this short time that we have together

Here, in this god-forsaken town

Time is so

Out of reach

Take my time

At snow beach

Oh, what a time to be beyond what the mind can conjure

And the human eye perceives

Surrounded by the countless revisions and drafts of the blueprints of the design

Of what i would like to be

In between the lowest valley and the highest peak

As an unraveling of physis is truly a sight to see

Mesmerised by the mechanism of the tourbillon

That i lost all track of the time it keeps
