Accumulator

Lyrics

Found a device that stores unused moments All the hours spent waiting in lines Captures the minutes lost to traffic Bottles up wasted time The accumulator fills up pretty slowly Drop by drop throughout the years Thousands of hours staring at screens Crystallized and saved right here If I could reclaim all the time I've lost Would I even know what to do with it The accumulator's nearly full But I'm still the same person passing on through Calculated all the nights spent sleeplessly Added up every boring staff meeting Every argument that went right nowhere Every moment spent just breathing The display reads forty thousand hours long Nearly five complete years stored up But having them back doesn't change the fact I'd probably waste them just like before If I could reclaim all the time I've lost Would I even know what to do with it The accumulator's nearly full But I'm still the same person passing on through Opened the valve to release it all Five years flooding back all at once But time without context is just sustain Empty hours don't amount to flowers The accumulator's empty now Gave me back all that I threw away But retrieving wasted time means nothing If you waste the gift the same exact way
