Before it's too soon

from Come to your senses old devil by Alex Monk

/

lyrics

Is that my last chance leaving tonight?
I only hope on Eagles' wings we'll fly

A slow ascent
From a life well spent
You believe the facts
I just don't know

I've got some distance
A little silence too
Yet I can't find
Enough time for you

The stare of the past
Lingers like a chime
Wanting to embrace
What isn't mine

The rat's jaws clench
Down upon time
A vortex of leaves swallows your sighs
Nervous laughter
Permeates the room
Let's get out of here
Before it's too soon

Are you mythical are you profane?
Caught between two strands of time again?
Oh how the moon's splendour shines
In the furrows of your heart
To where eternity hides

In dreams and silence you speak through me
Until my eyes open to endless seas
As time slowly weaves its way
Through the fading waves
We cast our mirrors away

Memories they shudder in the wind
As you watch your grief slip away
You're outside of who you are
You're outside of who you are

Is this my last chance leaving tonight?
