Sister City - Avenir lyrics

I saw my future in a flash of a thought I saw my future, when I blinked it was gone I watched in the mirror as it came to me Then got distracted and it slipped my mind immediately I watched the clock cross hands And how it kept my attention Reversed in reflection Was it too old to care or too young to be careful? I grin and bear through the prayers but never tire of the riddles Was it too lost to be profound? Or too found to lose out now? I am wrapped in the rhythm I saw my future in a flash of a thought I saw my future, I know I say that a lot I was starved, I was parched, I was delirious and wandering I was starved, I was parched, I might have almost made the promised land But to be honest, I'd moved on by then See, I'm working on wings, I'm gonna fly to the sun Cause what that first guy got wrong's he didn't plan far enough He only thought of the rise, he didn't think of the fall He was half there, but I've got the rest of it solved You've gotta focus on ending the second you start So in a smoldering nosedive, there's peace in your heart So when you smash into the earth, you did it on your terms That's living the dream Was it too old to care or too young to be careful? I grin and bear through prayers but never tire of the riddles Was it too lost to be profound? Or too found to lose out now? I was wrapped in the rhythm But I'm scrapping the system
