Not Today Lyrics by Listener

Time Is A Machine

2013

What if the sun became a shooting star
And gave us one last wish to have
And you and I were all that's left
This is not a fear trap

Well I'm dying but not right now
I've been trying to take the life I've found
And make a fire out of all that's left
But I keep getting burned

I can see them all my faults
But you can only see where I begin to start
And I've been trying to show my work
But that's my least favorite part

Running my mind
Running my mind
Making it up as it goes around
Don't hold it against me
You can hold me against it
Don't hold me down

If the sun turns to a shooting star
And leaves us with nothing much to say
This is not a fear trap
You can't pass a test you don't take

If you go looking you'll find it
When it goes quiet behind your eyes
When the roof starts to bust
Hell when I start to bust
With everything we need but time

And when the sun becomes a shooting star
And it goes from where we are
Don’t hold it against me
You can hold me against it
Don't hold me down
