"Time Forgot" lyrics
"Time Forgot"
Polished my shoes I bought a brand new hat moved to a town that time forgot
Where I don't have to shave or be approachable I can do just what I want
I want to walk in the howling wind till it scatters all my thoughts
Sit all alone on that riverbank till I forget that I can talk
Just listen
They say everyone has a choice to make to be loved or to be free
I told you once I felt invisible and I'm sure by now you see
That what I meant is I'm not all there until I finally leave
Some loneliness is acceptable and some is just outright mean
It gets even
Ivy crawls up the garden wall builds a ladder towards the sun
It can't be climbed but who is going to mind If I claim it can be done
Illusion
And the sun goes down
And the stars come out
And the distance that I've felt
I can see it for myself now
Boarded a train to take my memories back make up for time that I have lost
I'll never know if I'm delusional I just believe that I am not
I'm going to work for my sanity give it everything I've got
Though so far I have cheated death I know someday I'll get caught
Just living
So here we go, man, it is beautiful
Get your trumpet get your drum
Keeping time in a second line
It can make you feel so young
I know you say you'll go all the way
But that's not quite far enough
Someone told me that same thing
Someone told me that same thing
Someone told me that exact same thing once
