Lyrics
Find another songThink what it means to be killing time
And all the things that you left behind
We're on a clock and that's the crux
Time is the embrace that quietly kills us
Right now, death walks with me
Right now, arm in arm, she'll kiss me
Blasted hopes of missed connections
Right now, owning your obsessions
Last chance, the end is closer
Feels like the memory's over
Don't know where to begin
Where did it go in the end?
The world is getting older
Feels like the memory's over
Too late the body's colder
Feels like the memory's over
Day-by-day, I lose track of time
The rituals of my daily grind
Authentic in it's mediocrity
Sense of time disappearing
Right now, time slips with me
Right now lost, I'm drifting
It's hard to live the long goodbye
Right now, that's no way to die
Last chance, the end is closer
Feels like the memory's over
Don't know where to begin
Where did it go in the end?
The world is getting older
Feels like the memory's over
Too late, the body is colder
Feels like the memory's over
The world is getting older
Feels like the memory's over
Too late, the body's colder
Right now, my grip
Right now, time slips
Right now, always
Right now
Right now
Last chance, the end is closer
Feels like the memory's over
Don't know where to begin
Where did it go in the end?
The world is getting older
Feels like the memory's over
Too late the body's colder
Feels like the memory's over
The world is getting older
Feels like the memory's over
Too late, the body's colder
Feels like the memory's over
Hard to live the long goodbye
That's just no way to die
There's nothing left except
Memories
Where did it all go?
