(I see you)
Out in the rain
Out through the window
Invite you to stay
Got a fire in the furnace, gotta keep me warm, keep me sane

(I see you)
Follow my name
Count down the hours
Sharpen your claws
While I'm drowning in anticipation, it's your favorite champagne

(I see you)
Bite at the bit
Turn death into flowers
And I've got demands
But the mice can't tell the cats how to run their game

Wanting for more, I knock at his door
And he obliges my impromptu discussion

Grains of sand sift through digital hands
While the mechanical man tells me what I can borrow

As we begin he lies through a grin
So my fate's bound to the whims of his millennia

Cancel my plans
Before they get off the ground
Got a stop-watch in hand
Shuffle my schedule around
Well I know what I need
But I'm still left wasting time

It's tempting to spend your time
Dreaming away
But while the Devil's in the details
You're just turning grey
And when the Devil was chasing me
I was chasing time

Time flows like the rain
Falling from fortune to trials
And like the lightning strikes with the rain
Time is not lacking reprisals
And though the flowers are birthed by the rain
Please don't be in denial
A bed of roses is not without pain
When a thorn is in your side

Even if you could manage
To slow time down to a snail's pace
It would still run laps around you

Like a beast, he gnaws on the bones of man's carefully laid plans
Picking his teeth with our despair

Like a thief, he steals euphoria, replacing it with
Freshly-ripened heartache

Falling sand takes with both hands
Remorseless as the vulture to the carrion

(Tick-Tock, tumult, terror
As the grave draws ever nearer
Time is not an object
You can own)

Cancel my plans
Before they get off the ground
Got a stop-watch in hand
Shuffle my schedule around
Well I know what I need
But I'm still left wasting time

It's tempting to spend your time
Dreaming away
But while the Devil's in the details
You're just turning grey
And when the Devil was chasing me
I was chasing time
