Every road runs faster, every river has to flow

English lyrics

Light on skin, and the rhythm pulls me under tonight Through shadow-bored tunnels, I keep my pulse in flight Day to night, night to night, we keep slipping through On a river made of hours, every tide rewrites the truth We float with the water, with the current and the pull Still wanting more, still letting go, still aching to be full We chase what leaves, we lose what stays, then call it life 'Cause nothing ever really lives, it only learns to die Morning bleeds to amber, amber to a bruise of blue Every second leaves a mark the wind can split in two We stare at the future 'cause the past won't hold our hand Can't mend what's already shattered, can't unmake where we stand So we go, go, go, yeah, we know, know, know Every road runs faster, every river has to flow Fuck the tik, fuck the tak, fuck the clock and all its lies Hating the tiktalk while we spit it back and rise Oh, time is healer, thief, and wolf in borrowed skin It seals the deepest wounds just to steal what's hidden in No clean talk, no safe talk, no honest line alone Nothing simple in the body when time sinks into bone Oh, time, lovely fucking time, you cut, you bless, you bite You drag dawn into dusk and dusk into night And night to night we drift again, two ghosts on the stream Two bodies in a moving world, two sparks inside a dream We are on a river, passing with the water's pace Trying to outrun the ending, trying to leave no empty space But what we chase keeps slipping, what we lose won't stay dead Every laugh becomes a bruise, every memory in our head So let it slip, let it slide, let the current have its say If nothing can ever stay, then nothing can be taken away We are here to pass together, brief but true To turn the vanishing into something fierce and beautiful too Go go go, we fucking know know know All directions pull us, still we burn, still we flow Fuck the tik, fuck the tak, let the shattered seconds crack Hating the tiktalk while we keep coming back Oh, time is healer, killer, truth with teeth It mends the old, then steals the fire underneath No talk without the paradox, no love without the knife Lovely fucking time, we burn in you for life From day to night, from night to night, we vanish, then we glow And if nothing can stay forever, then forever let us go When the morning breaks again, we’re already halfway gone Sunlight on the water feels like a warning song Every bridge behind is burning, every step ahead unsure Still we move because we know: nothing here is ever sure We touch the edge of yesterday, wash it off our skin What was lost is never leaving, what was leaving comes again And the river keeps speaking in a language made of rain It says hold it if you want to, but you’ll only hold the pain So we laugh into the distance, let the distance laugh back Make a home inside the motion on a never-ending track If the future is a ghost light, let it haunt us as we run If the past is just a shadow, let it die beneath the sun We are made of brief collisions, of the moments in between Of the glitter and the drowning, of the seen and unforeseen We don’t ask for permanence, we ask for one more spark To cross the day and keep our names against the dark Go go go, we fucking know know know Even still we’re split between the undertow and afterglow Fuck the tik, fuck the tak, fuck the measured, plastic beat Hating the tiktalk while the river shakes our feet Oh, time is healer, killer, never kind It repairs what it has broken just to rewire the mind No talk without the paradox, no truth without the strain Lovely fucking time, you bless us and break us again And if the night becomes tomorrow, and tomorrow slips away We’ll meet it in the current, let it take us, let it play Day to night, night to night, the only law is moving on Every ending is a doorway, every disappearing dawn We are on a river, passing with the water's stream Still wanting to pass, to miss what passing means We want to pass because nothing stays, because all we touch must part Thinking about the future with a never-resting heart Go go go, we fucking know know know We are drifting, we are burning, we are learning how to flow Fuck the tik, fuck the tak, fuck the clock that wants our soul Hating the tiktalk, but the river makes us whole Oh, time is healer, killer, oh, what a sight It keeps us coming, keeps us breaking, keeps us hungry through the night No talk without the paradox, no prayer without the scar Lovely fucking time, you are exactly what you are From day to night, from night to night, we’re passing through the glow And if nothing can stay forever, then forever let it go
