Diorama Lyrics

We wear our watches
like hourglasses of death
so we can keep track
of our time running out.
we can run but never leave
without leaving a piece of our youth.
When we were kids we believed in
forever, 'cus it was still at our hands.
i throw all these insecurities aboard.
they drown me like an anchor
I know sometimes it can wear you out
to always swim against the stream.
the harder the tide
the stronger i swim.
it's what i learned from a song.
My life without me.
These words that we sung by heart
were the lives that we lived.
these songs on long night drives
is the ink in our skin.
I carry these words in my heart
so it's not empty anymore.
they sink to the bottom
like a treasure I buried.
My life without me.
We will be the band
that will play when this ship sinks.
so carve these words in wood
and bury me in them.
