about

Edward Scissorhands meets Walt Disney, a mid-tempo lullaby mashup.

lyrics

LIVE SLOW, DIE OLD

The hands on the clock go tick, tick, tock
In stuttering steps into the depths of darkness
The rain drip drops on tin rooftops
Down to the sea and endlessly repeating

Live slow, die old
Live slow, die old

The sun goes up till it goes down
And round and round into the ground in silence
Paint chips fall out in the hall
Where a picture tilts and all you’ve built is crumbling

Live slow, die old
Live slow, die old

The will to go on leaves us day by day
Collapsing under your own gravity
Everything we find we must leave behind
At the gates of eternity

Skin collects in dusty specks
On books unread beside the bed unchanging
Insect creep beneath your sleep
And the stars in the sky ignore your cry for more time.

Live slow, die old
Live slow, die old

The will to go on leaves us day by day
Collapsing under your own gravity
Everything we find we must leave behind
At the gates of eternity
