Adrift The Time Current (Timepiece Volume)
For he doesn't know which way to go This boy who only knows to follow Adrift the time current, he flows With no particular place to go
He lets the wind lead him A good follower, indeed To idle among the silly leaves And play among the broken twigs And he doesn't care if he was spinning For time just keeps on flowing
And he doesn't even have a dream This boy who only knows to heed Adrift the time current, he swims With no particular goal to achieve
He lets the fallen leaf take him A good follower, indeed To float along the current Up to the clouds, he went And he doesn't care if he was falling For time just keeps on flowing
And he doesn't know how to perform This boy who only knows to conform Adrift the time current, he rides With no particular plan to thrive
He lets the stream carry him Like a real follower, it seems To sail along the violent breeze Until his arms gave in... And he realized he was unmoving Yet time just keeps on flowing
And so, in the middle of the time current He found himself isolated This boy who only knows to nod his head Has found no one to follow
And he should have cared when he was spinning Adrift the time current, flowing For the wind that once had led him Has now abandoned him
And he should have cared when he was falling Adrift the time current, swimming For the fallen leaf that used to take him Has now abandoned him
And he should have cared where he was going Adrift the time current, floating For now that he's under the stream suffocating He lost the timing to do anything
But who does this boy have to blame? The wind, the leaf, or the surging stream? Under the time current he dissipates Where everyone has forsaken him
Now this boy doesn't know how to return When paving ways, he didn't learn And under the stream, he plummets still Adrift the time current, he sinks.
