I was yearning for the wind like it was Chrono Trigger
Let's grow no bigger and catch this in a glass
Though we grow old in slow-mo and chokehold vigor
Somehow it all happens in a flash
The tow truck shows up yanking lifelines
In the right mind might show love like I learned in my nest
“Forgive’ ‘n’ forget or forever live in regret”
Give respect
Earn respect
Work with the rest
The yearnings of the wind call time and time again
The burnings of the sins fall in line with the pen
The corridors of time collapse on the rhymes
The smorgasbord of lies will laugh at the mind
The orators lines have attached to my spine
When I find I'm fine trapped in time
I just want to be a good man off the platform
Is that too much to ask for?
Lost my passport
Name erased itself off the blackboard
Failed the crash course but killed greed
Build these love-filled schemes and still dream
One day I will win my war
One day I will win my war
One day
