Stray

Everything moves faster nowadays
Nothing I’ve grown to love can stay
So I will commit them to memory
I will keep them deep inside my chest
A place where time cannot protest
I will visit every single day
No, that’s not what I meant to say
My words came out the wrong way
Now I can’t take them back, but it’s true
Things have been turned around just when
I thought that I had figured it all out
Because I know
Everything moves faster nowadays
Nothing I’ve grown to love can stay
So I will commit them to memory
I will keep them deep inside my chest
A place where time cannot protest
I will visit every single day
Oh, it was simpler when I was young
I was convinced of who I was
And all the clocks ticked slower
But is it true, that the more you know
Leads to the less that you want to know?
The mask has slipped and now it’s on the floor
Because I know
Everything moves faster nowadays
Nothing I’ve grown to love can stay
So I will commit them to memory
I will keep them deep inside my chest
A place where time cannot protest
I will visit every single day
As the light begins to fade
My voice echoes inside the home I’ve made
And I can’t help but feel afraid that this is not
The place from which I’ve strayed
From which I’ve strayed
Everything moves faster nowadays
Nothing I’ve grown to love can stay
So I will commit them to memory
I will keep them deep inside my chest
A place where time cannot protest
I will visit every single day
