lyrics

Dangle a rain check over my head
And I’ll leap at the chance to put off any agreed plans
You’ve said it once and I’ll invite you to say it again,
What’s a little criticism amongst friends?
“The worst thing you can do is try to externalize
Some pastiche of the guy you were at 25
You’ll get head turns but not in the way that you’ll like
The performance is stale but you know that right?”

Time and time again, time proves irrelevant
See, life in the metropole, it just keeps on giving!
We’re Year-Zero children, packed to the ceiling with stuff
With plunder everywhere were turning into a warehouse

“So what are you gonna do? Move to the forest
Or start out over and cosplay as an artist?
I’m sure you’ll admit that those paths aren’t as charming.”
“You’re goddamn right, they’re nowhere near as charming!
But what is alarming, is how may hours it takes
To decide to abandon these projects and initiate something new,
Something truly worth doing
Where worth comes in post and doesn’t prove to be elusive”

Time and time again, time proves irrelevant
See, life in the metropole, it just keeps on giving!
We’re Year-Zero children, packed to the ceiling with stuff
With plunder everywhere were just turning into a warehouse

“Lets play this out: it’s 10 years from now
Your hair is thinner and no pen has touched paper
You’ve thought and thought. You’ve thought about thought.
Trudged lost in the infinite scenarios of all of it
But with whom? Who critiqued you?
Where you ever forced to see the dead-ends of your reason-tree
through the mind of someone else entirely?
Aware of yourself - be aware of yourself in the time you’re in”

Time and time again, time proves irrelevant
See, life in the metropole, it just keeps on giving!
We’re Year-Zero children, packed to the ceiling with stuff
There's plunder everywhere and we've turned into a warehouse
