Articulating Chaos

Lyrics

Einstein said that time dilates near massive objects Gravity bends the fabric Slews the past Sit beside a black hole for an hour Centuries have passed But I don't need a singularity To feel it Grief does the same thing To the flow Three days after she died Felt like years Three years since Feels like yesterdays echo Time moves differently Depending where you stand In the waiting room It crawls On Vacation it accelerates In the hospital It stalls Your 20s disappeared In retrospect But dragged endlessly While you lived them Now 40's approaching At light speed And childhoods frozen Somewhere distant Astronauts age slower In orbit Their clocks tick different than ours down here But ive been moving fast Through my life And somehow still arrived Nowhere Watched pot never boils They say Anticipation stretches seconds Into days But looking back At years of routine They've compressed Into a haze Time isn't constant Like we pretend It warps around Our emotional mass Happy moments Have an escape velocity Painful ones Possess gravitational collapse The speed of light Might be the limit But the speed of time Has no such rule Accelerating as you Approach the ending Decelerating when You're young and cruel Sitting here At 3AM I'm moving through time slower Then I will tomorrow morning When I'm late The universe doesn't tick at one consistent rate Physics proves what we already know Intuitively but can't articulate
