Tonedeff - Moment lyrics

Time’s running out hold onto this moment
Cause you’re never gonna get it back

Now, What would you do with
Your time if you knew
You were gonna die in one day?
Would you jump through the hoops of
Your life with a boost
Or would you deny and complain?
Would you run to the roof, suicidal and blue
As if you were deciding your fate
Or better yet, now would you cut to the truth
You’d get as stupid as you could all
Before you expired - no shame
Hold on to this moment
Cause you’re never gonna get it back
And the time slides right by
Us all with the silence
Without the slightest hint of a pitter pat
It’ll be fickle and shift
On you, unpredictable


Ticking fast when getting laughs
Or it can drag when shit is bad
The future’s in my grasp, hmph, there it goes
Now everything I was saying a second ago
Is in the past, so we live with that
Which tense, can you feel tension
Wait for itin the 4th dimension
Ain’t no one getting over
The relentless pace forward
Is out of order with your senses
Take notice - not a time out
So I hide every clock in my house
I don’t wanna be reminded of my
Anxiety that when I’m idle
I’m wasting away while I count down
Waiting for a clean slate
For pete’s sake! Lonely, waiting
A dream date, high brow
Ain’t no way to re-place your mistakes
No matter how good a replay might sound
Ain’t no fucking freeze-frame to see straight
Waiting for the stars to align
Or a plausible sign
Or a law to be signed, As it all swishes by
Cause really, the only right - is right now
Pow

Time’s running out hold onto this moment
Cause you’re never gonna get it back
(I hope you had the time of your life)

Hold onto this moment
Cause you’re never gonna get it back
And as each one passes, it adds baggage
You gotta drag into the next
Till you quit or collapse
Bit of romance in the concept of living fast
No sitting stagnant
Ya stop and then it’s your ass
So we get attached to the
Madness of being frantic
Until we crash into walls that
Were built to last (and it’s tragic)
Niggas say give it time
But they’re spending mine
While they give advice
Luckily, I’m wise - it was set aside
The simple take is that we’re
Dashing within our prime
Then disintegrating into ash by
The finish line
2 minutes in, 11 seconds gone
You can feel the ticks burrowed in your bones
And they’re thoroughly devoted to murder
While they’re serving you notice
The borrowing is over and tomorrow isn’t owed
But, I feel it in the bottom of my soul
I don’t wanna die and yo -
That’s all I really know
I could live forever
But my body’s getting old
God made a promise
But his clock his hella slow
Holding your breath brings you
Closer to death
It’s the loneliest lesson you grow to detest
And this whole bit of flesh
Is a linear experience except of course
Within the mind where the Delorean is kept
And I floor itcause Iwannahold it
And stretch thisout forall that’sleft
Before itruns outi’maown it
With any doubts or small regrets
We’re born at the entrance
(to the passage of time)
A form that’s defenseless
(to it's savage design)
We morph as we trek it
Until the reaper escorts us to the
Exit - molted and breathless

Once upon a time - I
Learned that time was life
And procrastination was theft
So, if time is money
Then you're gonna serve time
When the time comes
Life will pay for this debt
Cause when time flies, bet it’s first class
And the time line of credit burns fast
So it’s high time
That you learn to manage it
And in the interest of saving time
Two-timing, you’ll find is your worst habit
Cause it’s about time that I faced the music
Because the way that I kill time is abusive
Cause time and again, I get by on a whim
I’m behind at halftime
And then right at the end
Is when I’m buying a win
They tell me time is a snitch
But only time will tell
If telling time will you keep
You outta the cell
Time flies and it heals all
Wounds it’s an angel
That’ll strangle you while it saves you
- Times up! - I’m grateful
