Lyrics
Verse 1
Streets are breathing underfoot
Windows glow but feel no truth
Time is dripping from our hands
Like a grain of falling sand
Day to day
We don’t ask
What we chase
Or what will last
Pre-Chorus
Eyes are drifting out of frame
No one even knows our names
Clocks keep beating, never slow
Pulling us where we don’t go
Chorus
We are burning time
Like sparks we leave behind
Running through the fire line
We are burning time
Verse 2
Faces passing, never stay
Same old lines we always say
Quiet doubts we never show
Buried deeper as we go
Moments break before they land
Slip like water through our hands
What was certain fades away
Gone before it has a name
Pre-Chorus
Shadows stretching on the wall
We don’t see them when they fall
Something cracks beneath the skin
But we keep it all within
Chorus
We are burning time
Like sparks we leave behind
Running through the fire line
We are burning time
Bridge
No pause, no still
Only motion, only will
Do we run or just escape
From the echo, from the weight
When it ends
Will we know
Were we lost
Or just letting go
Outro (twist )
We were burning time
Now it’s burning us
Nothing left to hold or trust
We were burning time
