the distant fourth - the chase lyrics

Loading...

tiny increments
infinitely small, impossibly infinite
indicating our place
in context to other instances

three limbs, independently
travel a set distance
the circumference of an instrument

convinced that there is no option but to obey
we commit to an idea
that leaves us feeling enslaved

we pretend living in the confines of time is satisfying
wondering why it has to be this way

we dance to the hands of a machine
conducted to an orchestra, performed on routine
never deviating from the score
never seeking more than the conventional means

do we question our reasons to be?
thoughtlessly following a routine
never deviating from the score
never seeking more than the conventional means
to an end
carving faces into the sand
only to be lost again
etched in time
like the wrinkles in our skin

we draw lines
and live by them

maybe structure is what we need
to give meaning to ambiguity
like a path to follow
rather than wandering aimlessly

i stare into the face of time
and accept what i see
i grasp the hands beside me
by choice, willingly

because i know they’ll guide me
they’ll guide me
because i know they’ll guide me

twelve intervals dividing the time we have

- the distant fourth lyrics
