Time Lies (Ludus)

Nothing exists outside of right now
The apocalypse unfolds
And the sky comes down
You and I
Laughing at an inside joke
Never mind what the future holds

Held hostage by gravity
All that heaviness can wait
Let's get back on our feet
You and I
Neither one of us can dance
That's alright
Here, just take my hand

Time lies
Forever is on our side
Tonight we get to decide
What forever feels like
Forever looks like
You and I

Let's forget about all the countdowns
The city made of cards
Looming storm clouds
You and I
Let's play another game
Shuffle again
Till our luck is changed

Change is simply a matter of mind
The forecast says rain
But there will be clear skies
For you and I

Cross my heart and hope

Time lies
Forever is on our side
Tonight we get to decide
What forever feels like

Time lies
Forever is on our side
Tonight we get to decide
What forever feels like
Forever looks like
You and I

Maybe I'm being over-naive
The law of physics tend to lean
Toward adversity
But you and I
Laughing at another joke
Get to decide
What our future holds
