From a distance, the truth is so obvious
Answers are all so clear
Logic stays at arm's length when engulfed in the present
Desperation draws near

If I could pull the fabric of time and bring the future near
The answers wouldn't be so far, the truth would be so clear
Time is black
Time is black
And nothing will escape
Nothing will remain
Nothing
From a distance, time is black
Tangible and dense
With each rotation a new day passed
And past, at last, makes sense
There were past obstacles seem just pebbles on your path
Always just a step ahead, the peace I hope to catch
Time is black
Time is black
And nothing can escape
Nothing will remain
