lyrics

We weave the timelines, infinite and intricate,
and plot the moments, color-marked and weighted.
It wasn't long ago that it seemed adequate
to leave the dates inferred.

So set the deadlines and let the pressure immerse us.
We're radioactive, but stabilizing quickly;
splitting our time, once and again, endlessly,
'til just a moment's left.


You'll whisper to me once again
of miracles, but I'm cynical
from decades in obscurity
spent trivially.

Tell me you and I were meant for more than this;
well, I'm curious.
My quarterlife decay has been so
perilously tedious.


I trace the outlines, precise and elaborate
and shade the spaces darkened by our failure
to see it now with overwhelming clarity,
a mapping of it all.


Recursively, we watch ourselves grow old.
