lyrics

Looking through younger eyes
Every moment froze in time
I dreamt of all I could become
I thought that I could be someone
Now I work a nine to five
Forty years till I retire
I count the days until that comes
How have I become so numb

And I watch as the colors leave my eyes

And I try to deny
The vacancy that haunts me
When I start to close my eyes
And when I wake I’m afraid
Of losing what ignites me
To the jealous grip of time
Oh, come back bright eyes

Running with younger bones
Chasing dreams became my home
Heading fast to the unknown
Wasn’t scared of what I didn’t know
Then failure caught my eye
It was then that I realized
It’d hurt less if I didn’t try
The day that I believed a lie

And I watch as the colors leave my eyes

And I try to deny
The vacancy that haunts me
When I start to close my eyes
And when I wake I’m afraid
Of losing what ignites me
To the jealous grip of time
Oh, come back bright eyes

Time’s a thief
And he plays for keeps
You can’t get it back
I know that
I have a choice to live
With the time I have
I know that
I was made for more than this (3x)
I was made for more
I know that
I was made for more

The Timbre of Cedar image

The Timbre of Cedar Detroit, Michigan

Though its name evokes images of a land with towering trees, winding rivers, and vast lakes, The Timbre of Cedar is rooted in the urban forest of Metro Detroit. Cutting through the peripheral noise of sonic and existential monotony, the five-piece musical collective crafts a refreshing brand of anthemic indie-rock, inspired and instilled with a transparency of the soul and a yearning for grace. ... more
