[Intro: Kristina Sherman]
(Tick-tock)
You always know how long you’ve been alive
But never know how much longer you’ll survive (Tick-tock)
Be more careful! Clues surround you! (Ha-ha-ha)
[Verse 1: mzlff]
They’ll pass by, won’t even see
Not a shoulder to brush, just indifference to me
And my carelessness isn’t part of this score
(Maybe it’s like that for all)
Where everyone’s just a rookie in time’s endless hall
Setting presets, but what comes next? (Nothing at all)
Our years rest on the murkiest floor
To dig a littlе deeper, need to breathe in morе
What will the autopsy reveal in the end?
How our memories died, like time won’t bend
The body’s grown cold even before the drown
I don’t want to start over, no rebirth to be found
Someday in people, I’ll fade from their sight
Leaving a mark on someone, yet we vanish from light
[Bridge: mzlff]
Even studying the world’s records, there’s no reply
Only with you I know that in this world, even madness can’t lie
[Chorus: mzlff]
Take my hand and hold on tight
Please help me see what waits on life’s other side
On life’s other side
What awaits us on life’s other side?
Take my hand and hold on tight
Please help me see what waits on life’s other side
Something we can’t comprehend
Stopping time, killing without end
[Verse 2: STED.D]
I’m drowning in an ocean of words
And each day I’m battered in this factory of herds
Nothing’s shorter than promised eternal memory
Aimlessly paddling through the Milky Way, lost dust in a cold vacuum’s spree
The universe collapsed as we ignored the signs
(All who loved you didn’t shed tears, just crossed lines)
Lonely stars nailed to the ceiling’s expanse
Yet most of them are dead, and you’re just another chance
I drag my feet on the ground, quite drunk
Don’t recall my childhood, like it never sunk
All files and photos are blurred in a dead heart
All the tapes are just fakes, tearing us apart
[Bridge: STED.D]
A teardrop rolls down on the bare tile
Life plays with you, a ball of epitaphs in style
“He was good,” comma
Meanwhile, the universe keeps living by its own drama
[Chorus: mzlff & STED.D]
Take my hand and hold on tight
Please help me see what waits on life’s other side
Where do all the numbers fly? (Ah-ah-ah)
If time is killing, when will it pay for each lie? (Ah-ah-ah)
Take my hand and hold on tight
Please help me see what waits on life’s other side
And how do we avoid getting lost? (Ah-ah-ah)
Remaining light in the skies, what’s left after our cost? (Ah-ah-ah)
