Lyrics
[Intro]
Let me tell you ‘bout a skeptic.
Who’d love to be proven wrong.
A crafter of the automatic,
He’s the hero of this song!
[Verse 1]
At first he sailed for fresh waters
To build towers above the slaughters.
A craftsman in his youth,
A man’s journey for his craft.
From sellers to buyers,
He helped their profits climb.
Hoping one day his towers,
Would help someone thrive.
But storms from on high,
Came crashing down,
Once, twice, dozens of ends were nigh,
And once again our hero had to leave town.
[Chorus]
Time time time to go
There’s someone pushing him for mo’
Again he rises, again he adapts
Nothing will make his last straw snap!
Time time time let’s go!
And off to the next he went.
[Verse 2]
For a while now, he’d been on the run,
From one mess to another.
He was tired, but he wasn’t done,
He chose to build another tower,
Far far far below, one voice among the ripples.
Pulled by the currents,
In dozens of directions.
Deep, forgotten runes
Screaming for attention.
He started from that pit
And did what he did best.
He built and built a tower,
While holding his last breath.
[Chorus]
Time time time to go
There’s someone pushing you for mo’
Again he rises, again he adapts
Nothing will make his last straw snap!
Time time time let’s go!
And off to the next he went.
[Verse 3]
Now you might think, he’s in too deep!
But you’d be wrong my friend.
For all along, the hero’s plan,
was to deeply understand.
If every hero becomes a villain,
or dies in the attempt.
You’d want to know, just like me,
how to live like you once planned.
For you see, beyond that toil, he’d crafted one last tower.
From scrapped ideas, and scattered thoughts, a lifeboat in the mess.
Stormy waters and dark skies, tried to sink it underwater,
But for once his tower stood, with a bright smile none the less!
For builders and makers, to tackle something harder.
To carve a place for themselves, to survive life’s unfair test.
[Bridge]
Time time time to go
There’s someone pushing us for mo’
Again we rise, again we adapt
We refuse to let his last straw snap!
Time time time let’s go!
And for once he got to rest…
[Outro]
Let me tell you ‘bout a skeptic,
Who’d love to be proven wrong.
He’s honest, careful, and will carry you too.
So join me in his song!
Time time time to go
There’s someone pushing us for mo’
Again we rise, again we adapt
We refuse to let his last straw snap!
Time time time let’s go!
And for once… just once… give this man a rest!!!
[Fade to silence]
