High Contrast - Time Is Hardcore lyrics

The past is, the past is
The past is a bastard
Keeps asking for favours
And turning up half-cut at family parties
With the same old excuses
Breaking all the furniture
And changing the music
Can't wrench nothing out of yesterday
It's gone how do you settle that score?
Got you like a soldier in
Peace time desperate for war
'Cause what was real then isn't real anymore

Keep spinning or stop in your tracks
Keep grinning
Or let it all smash, keep winning
Or give it all back, keep running
Or let it go flat, let it go
No, you won't get it back
Keep spinning or stop in your tracks
Keep grinning
Or let it all smash, keep winning
Or give it all back, keep running
Or let it go flat, let it go
No, you won't get it back

Wе've come a long, long, long, long way
From the start
Wе've come a long, long, long, long way
From the start
And even if we fall from grace
We get back up we've come a long, long way
We've come a long, long way

Yeah ah ah ah oh yeah ah ah ah oh
Time is hardcore yeah ah ah ah oh

Forwards the whole day
Backwards the whole night
Wake up with yesterday's shadow and
Hold tight to nothing slow flight to nowhere
Ready to jump but there's no air
It's all made of glass and steel
Proof is real
Get it embossed on the gold-plated wheel
Spin it until it reveals the reason
You don't feel to feel
Held up by decisions you make
It's a mistake but it isn't too late
Somewhere it's morning, call it, it's bait
I'm the genuine article in a
World of superior fakes
How very internet of you
The right-on-o-meter is striking a thousand
I want bliss, lean in, kiss
Feel bass in face and lips
Exist, exist or, if not that, then this
Look, I was in a gold robe, beaming
The light was intense and the
Strength I was feeling
Was swimming lengths in my veins
I believed in love
The way of all flesh had decreed it love
The way of all flesh had decreed it love
The way of all flesh had decreed it love

Keep spinning or stop in your tracks
Keep grinning
Or let it all smash, keep winning
Or give it all back, keep running
Or let it go flat, let it go
No, you won't get it back
Keep spinning or stop in your tracks
Keep grinning
Or let it all smash, keep winning
Or give it all back, keep running
Or let it go flat, let it go
No, you won't get it back

We've come a long, long, long, long way
From the start
We've come a long, long, long, long way
From the start
And even if we fall from grace
We get back up we've come a long, long way
We've come a long, long way

Yeah ah ah ah oh yeah ah ah ah oh
How very internet of you time is hardcore
Hardcore hardcore
