Passage of Time ft. Diana Cohen Lyrics

Rise up, young scribe

You've been selected

Realize our vision while the gods are smiling you and yours

Emergence, drought, inundation

architecturally correcting

1.5 percent descending by my decree

And now it's pouring

Pouring in, pouring out of the floodgates

we designed to handle this and more

And could we do much better now?

I think about it all the time

Passage of time

Look east

Eyes wide

In a westerly direction

An inflection point at 31 degrees

And now there's buildings

Building up

Building intensity

Culturally corrected

Calibrating my expectancy

Her nature nurtured me

It's plain to see compatible

The world agrees

How much of my life is tied directly to this moment?

I think about it all the time

Passage of time

Modern parents provide

Modern childhood

And I wonder is it something that's innate

Or is it something in the water

Something hiding in the fine print

Anaphylactic

Anatomically correcting

And now he's breathing

Breathing in breathing out

Colour rushing to the end points

In my periphery

Visions of a corridor pearlescent

Iridescent, phosphorescent

Five thousand degrees

And now she's bleeding

Bleeding out

Bleeding internally

Surgically corrected

Thousand miles in front of me

Is there more would could have done for her

I think about it all the time

Passage of time
