lyrics

I am running late, my heart is gunning at hummingbird rates
I am running late, I’m racing, you’re waiting with a timeless grace

You say take sand
out of the hour glass
refill it will sugar,
Take our sweet time

I am running late, my heart is gunning at hummingbird rates
I am running late, but like your watch, you have a timeless face

You say take hands
off clocks fast
hands on my hips:
that’s time to waist
kiss the salt from my lips
kiss the halt from existence
a vault of ellipsis…

But your kisses so sweet
they hurt my fillings
floors my heart beat
when I see the ceiling

In 999 we were neighboring carnations
And I gave up before the calendar year
It was much the same for y2k
broke it off fearing the end was near

what are we gonna do in 2012?
It’s said the world won’t make it through
What are we gonna do in y3k,
if I can’t see that ends return as debuts?

I’m rerunning fate, my heart is gunning at hummingbird rates
Afraid what ruins await, my time changed watch sees signs and tries to run in place

With my
Flashlit canned goods in
Bottled water

Duct taped radio
First aid kit

Blankets matching
Favorite authors

Warm clothed escape routes
Card tricked by secret shoppers

we’ve carbon dated so long that
half-lived delay pedals decay
lemme count the ways

though every signal measure’s strong
in decomposed symphonic ways
still I countdown our days

too late to round down.
no documents of stay.
the new fate, its coming 'round.
yet I'm still in a haze.

In 999 we were neighboring carnations
but I gave up before the calendar year
It was much the same for y2k
broke it off fearing the end was near

what are we gonna do in 2012?
It’s said the world, world, world won’t make it through
What are we gonna do in y3k,
if I can’t see my time turns into you?
