Lyrics
Take part in your own time
Watch, a millennium passes by
In no time like crime
Completes us all
But even as we try
No twist lemon, lime
Nothing, nothing to deny
So sudden gone, your prime
Elysium is just a piece of sky
And so like a sideshow attraction
Can make the epitome of absurd insanity
Seem like regularity
And then pale in comparison
Inside your world of light
Risk it all or run and hide
What's the question, is the answer right?
The easy course as-yet untried
Prime yourself for a fool's delight
As ignorance steals away your pride of status
An unearthly mise, your history overnight
So much, the stakes so high
Your pride is just a sweet thing of mine
One survives, another dies
And becomes an unsolved crime
Rushing time drowns your cries
And sees you struggling to define
Take part in your own time
Watch the millennium of insight
And so like a sideshow attraction
Can make the epitome of absurd insanity
Seem like regularity
And then pale in comparison
And as a generation's peace
The gyro will cease
All numbers decrease
Like a tide through our fingers
It lingers like pain
Fleeting on the train of thought
You cannot make it stay awake!
And it's all done in pursuit of happiness anyway
Trivia
- Marko's vocal technique that blends rap with poetry is very similar to that used in the verses of Choice Millionaire - a track which also calls back to Captain's 90's soundpallette.
- Phrases like "train of thought" are clear giveaways that the lyrics were written by Marko.
