Story Behind The Song

Watching the news this song grew from wondering why men who go to war continually talk about peace.

Song Description

A simple rock/reggae song laden with complex organ, guitar, cello, and vocal parts. The combination of simple and complex highlights themes of power/powerlessness, knowledge/ignorance, and communication/isolation. We all share each of these attributes in equal parts, and when we mix we find our roles somewhere inbetween. The result is neither; the result of these mixtures can only be seen in hindsight.

Lyrics

TIME IS COMING

Your time is coming
So hit the ground running
You'll never know
You'll never know
Until it's too late

The law, inverted
This language is deserted
They'll never know
They'll never know
Until it's too late

Your timing is pleasant
Like water in the desert
You'll never know
You'll never know
Until it's too late

Though nothing was stolen
A thief was here, i know it
You'll never know
You'll never know
Until it's too late

It's what he lies about
That takes a while to figure out (repeat)
And then why? (repeat)

Recital, unbroken
Won't change until it's spoken
You'll never know
You'll never know
Until it's too late

You're throwing or losing
My confidence is choosing
You never know
Until it's too late

It's what he lies about
That takes a while to figure out (repeat)
And then why? (repeat)

You'll never know
You forgot what you came for
You'll never learn it from me

You'll never know
You forgot what you came for
You'll never learn it from anyone
