Time Is Your Horse

When you choose not to ride the escalator
'cause you don’t want to stand behind teenagers
Watch them go fishing deep, deep down
A promise as bait attached to the tongue
When you don’t want to go see your parents
'cause you don’t want your skin to turn transparent
The moment you walk into the house
from which you could not wait to get out
When you don’t want to eat New Year’s dinner
'cause your friends' boyfriends think they are winners
You don’t want to spend another second
discussing when there is no discussion
When you don’t think being you is impossible
but being someone else looks more professional
You go that way to get it done
the jokes you tell are so much fun
Picture yourself on the shores of the future
Trust in the time she’s your horse to the future
Presence is just a door to the future
Seizing the day is for self-righteous losers
