Time Traveler's Tale

[Verse 1]
Dusty kicks, I’m stompin’ through my history
Old me a mystery, lost in the blistering
Pages torn, echoes in the rafters
Faster than disaster, chasing ever after

Laces frayed, my sneakers spoke in riddles
Jumped from the middle, to the edge of the spindle
Skyscraper dreams, but the roof’s still missing
Yesterday’s me, forever reminiscing

[Prechorus]
Past me whispers, but the echoes stutter
Future me calls, like lightning in the gutter

[Chorus]
I’m a time traveler, moving through the static
Past, present, future, I’m a living schematic
Tick, tock, tick, the beat won’t falter
Building my tomorrow on the ruins of the altar

[Verse 2]
Present tense, I’m a diamond under pressure
Heartbeat treasure, no map can measure
Pavement cracks, I’m skipping over doubt
Living in the now, ‘cause the clock ran out

Broke chains, but the links still dangle
Cut the cords, yet the roots still strangle
Techno in my veins, dubstep in my lungs
Bassline sermons, every word I’ve sung
