I own a box, within which time stops I now carry a heart which can break time and space apart I’ve caused a paradox, and now the world erupts I now carry a heart which can break time and space apart If I can’t visualize my lover Must I travel through the years? If I can already remember What hasn’t happened in the past years If my body belongs in the future Must I return to tomorrow’s Earth? She said we belonged to time More than we belonged to our bodies It crashes into us and possesses us What do we say? When we must not escape our own lifetime Regardless of how far we travel Through endless light, endless dust I strongly feel love for this world In spite of all of your faults I strongly care for this planet In spite of those who’ve damned it Traveling to a past Or a future era Learning to tell the difference Between shadow and penumbra And the difference between - our body and our shadow Between our home and its suburbs Guided by all the love that lurks Maybe the only way to survive the collapse Is to go way, way back into the past Time-traveler lover, time-traveler lover Time-traveler lover, time-traveler lover I own a box, within which time stops I now carry a heart which can break time and space apart I’ve caused a paradox, and now the world erupts I now carry a heart which can break time and space apart Despite being in the same vessel, the same ship Nothing could make me handle a relationship I found it would defragment my spirit, my soul So I escaped through this vortex, this black hole She said, remember - past the blackness Towards the core - there are all kinds of colors What do we say? When we’ve reduced ourselves to a heartbeat In a time traveling capsule in orbit How can we ever be free? When we can’t ever avoid - the future crashing into us Until there’s none of it left Traveling to a past Or a future era Learning to tell the difference Between shadow and penumbra And the difference between - our body and our shadow Between our home and its suburbs Guided by all the love that lurks Maybe the only way to survive the collapse Is to go way, way back into the past I’ve never been in love But my heart aches all the same Time-traveler lover, time-traveler lover
