SELDEM - 16-bit

We painted over cracks with midnight ink Your laughter still lingers in the kitchen sink Now the plaster's crumbling, showing every scar I drove through dead ends to get this far The mirror shows a stranger — guess that's me The kid who thought forever was a guarantee But forever's just a word that lovers use When they're too afraid to face the fuse I feel the tremors in my chest This moment puts the past to rest Not yesterday's regrets, not cheap requests Just flesh and bones — I'll take the test So fuck the clock, I'm keeping time The hands are fake, the face is mine I've kissed the ash, I've drank the wine Now every second's a fucking sign A fucking sign I used to chase the echoes of a name Burned every to fan the flame But smoke don't build a house, it just obscures The truth that pain is the only cure For comfort zones and broken phones For all the nights I slept alone I'm not the same kid on that street I'm the one who stands on his own two feet The weIght comes down But i remain I've swallowed fire I've chewed the chain! This is not prayen This is not plea This is the breath That sets me free I break the spokes, i claim the hub I am the tire, i am the rub The past is rubble, future's blur This second's all I prefer! I feel the tremors in my chest This moment puts the past to rest Not yesterday's regrets, not cheap requests Just flesh and bones — I'll take the test So fuck the clock, I'm keeping time The hands are fake, the face is mine I've kissed the ash, I've drank the wine Now every second's a fucking sign A fucking sign!
