lyrics

In impossible stitches that just happen to be
a twist stretches just long enough to be seen
Now it holds what old patterns can't find

When the light blinds the darkness and its own eyes go black
and it tumbles in cycles and it can't be turned back
it ain't easy to tell when it's time

On a point on a plane where you stand everyday
On a point on a plane you've tried hard to escape
At this point in the same place you felt so much pain
you stand dumbstruck in an instant of change

In suspenseful transmissions you register symbols
How they've evolved through the years now to signal
this isn't the same place you stood, it's not that simple
It stays hidden 'til things rearrange

Now new lines have squeezed through and made space as they passed
and you filled 'em best you could and you never looked back
and you hoped that it wasn't too much

Could you go on believing that it'd turn out alright
Trust that each step needs taken and only hindsight
can reveal the finishing touch

Now time stands at your doorstep and it can not be seen
It just beckons you outside to see what it needs
When you find it needs nothing, you know that it means
it holds nothing, it's just passing by

It just blows like the breeze, slightly moving shit around
It's not easy to see, sometimes there's not a sound
'til one morning you find that it's you that's been found
by someone who hopes that it's time
