Time Enough from Time Enough by terrapin

Mesmerisation on the fritz,
Hell-bent on heaven on Earth bullshit.
Seconds til detonation hits,
Local airwaves picking up heat.

Well, is there time enough for me?
To venture in land and out to sea.
Be a better kind of free,
Learn your lessons, teach them to me.

Cos everyone I know is,
Growing old and next in line is me.
You hear what you’re told,
Brainwashing for free,
Childhood was cold and I’m still a wean on a lead.
Still a wean on a leash.

We're breaking momentum on the road,
Shaking oak trees for the leaves of gold.
Better take your time as it goes,
Better make your mind up quick as hell, though.

See the way the sea waves roll,
Feel the heatwave on your skin boil.
Better dead than alive alone,
Better depressed than a lying fool.

Cos anyone I ask says,
Growing up is a hard place to be caught.
Well, time enough is bullshit,
A dumb fairy tale of time well spent,
It’s all airy thought.

And I’ve spent too many hours,
Thinking about time itself.
Time wasted on time wasted on myself.
My mind is a scary old place to dwell.
It has its highs less than its wells,
And they’re often dry and burn like hell.

Time wasted on time wasted on time itself.
I’m wasted on my wasting of time itself.
Time wasted on time wasted on myself.
Life’s wasted on time wasted on myself.

Cos anyone I ask says,
Growing up is a hard place to be caught.
Well, time enough is bullshit,
A dumb fairy tale of time well spent,
It’s all airy thought.

Cos everyone I know is,
Growing old and next in line is me.
You hear what you’re told,
Brainwashing for free,
Childhood was cold and I’m still a wean on a lead.
Still a wean on a leash.

Time wasted on time wasted on time itself.
I’m wasted on my wasting of time itself.
Time wasted on time wasted on myself.
Life’s wasted on time wasted on myself.
