Is, Was, and Will be

from Minuteman for the Moment by Look What I Did

lyrics

My qualm with this song,
take notes, im thinking
this fleeting moment of your enjoyment
will pass
and even if this ambiance did not stop
until the earth quit spinning
you'd eventually bore of it, and implore of us
that we do not continue
if you tried to write nines, until there were no nines
in time, you'd die, and you wouldn't not finish.

the only difference in infinacy between God and us
us our own imprisonment in time

God can i please
fast forward
fast forward
to the best parts?
and then
God can i please
rewind
rewind
to the beginning?

My hands, my head, my neck is sweating
the seconds drip from the clock
like a broken tap
and if you try to plug the leak with anything
it only leaks much faster
and you know that someday, the valve
will break
and your watermain will unleash on your bathroom
and ive got a lot of shit to do and i dont have time to schedule THAT
in any time soon.

the only difference in infinacy between God and us
us our own imprisonment in time

God can i please
fast forward
fast forward
to the best parts?
and then
God can i please
rewind
rewind
to the beginning?

a whisper, an answer, i tremble, you pause
just tell me it is not in vain you'll never forget me
cause these moments, my moments, i want them, their mine
and if you bury them with me i'll never forgive you
who cares if my time is wasted, you don't use it!
its nothing
all i can be is all there is, was and will be.

the only difference in infinacy between God and us
us our own imprisonment in time

God can i please
fast forward
fast forward
to the best parts?
and then
God can i please
rewind
rewind
to the beginning?
