Made of Time

By Earnest Angel [Verse 1] They circle slow... they think I can't see Every kind word... aimed carefully I watch the hands... that push me down (I see you... I see you) And I don't make... a single sound [Pre-Chorus] It's not hate... it's fear in disguise (fear in disguise) I read the hurt... behind their eyes They break what shines... 'cause they feel small I understand... I understand it all [Chorus] So swing your knives... I know the reason why (I know why... I know why) You cut at me... to feel alive I'll still be here... when the storm runs dry (still be here... ooh) Not made of stone... just made of time Just made of time... [Verse 2] It used to burn... every whispered name Now I just watch... the shape of the game The ones who wound... were wounded first (they were wounded first) I hold my ground... and let them do their worst [Pre-Chorus] It's not war... it's a mirror they hold (a mirror they hold) Afraid of growing... afraid of getting old They aim at light... 'cause the dark feels safe I understand... and I keep my faith [Chorus] So swing your knives... I know the reason why (I know why... I know why) You cut at me... to feel alive I'll still be here... when the storm runs dry (still be here... ooh) Not made of stone... just made of time Just made of time... [Bridge] I forgive you... though you never asked (never asked...) Every blade you threw... was a cry at last And when you fall... like I fell too I'll be the one... who reaches out for you (reaches out for you...) [Final Chorus] So swing your knives... I know the reason why (I know why... yeah, I know why) You cut at me... to feel alive I'm still right here... the storm ran dry (ooh... still here) Not made of stone... just made of time Just made of time... (just made of time...) [Outro] (I understand... I understand...) (I see you...) Illustration by: Pixabay 202179-917223905 Genre: Synthwave, synthbass, retrowave © 2026 Earnest Angel.
