about

This is the seventh track on the album "All The Points At Which We Meet' by Ryan Williams.

lyrics

Is it only a matter of time before they all turn away
All attempts have been forsaken, it's all too much to take
The eleventh hour, come and gone, the second hand just ticks
Forgiveness might be finite, something's got to give

History's been mangled, stories labelled fiction
Details and context skewed or lost with each new edition
Warnings and disclaimers have done nothing to set it straight
They don't change the content, they just try to shift the blame

Honesty still comes around, it just leaves from time to time
Over-confidence and despair take their places with resign
Anxiety's excuses lure, so quick to run away
But catching up is inevitable, it so often goes the same

So turn around, meet it half way, learn a lesson for a change
It's not simple, overwhelming puzzles need re-arranged
Moving pieces, finding patterns in chaotic disarray
Amongst the beauty and the poison, life and death must have a place
