Time Is a Debt

Rocky Votolato

Time is a debt, son, the world has always owed
But not anymore, I found out how to beat it
It's the water in a river, you can't keep your head above
But not anymore, I found out all its secrets

You didn't know who's hiding in your eyes
The highs are the ice in the branches on a mountain top
You didn't know who's hiding in your smile
The lows are the devil's tears, rain falling in the sunlight

Time is a debt, son, it's something you can't call your own
But not anymore I found out how to keep it
Who I used to be is just a sea of evenings
Now I'm the morning light that will always keep you from sleeping

You didn't know who's hiding in your eyes
The highs are the ice in the branches on a mountain top
You didn't know who's hiding in your smile
The lows are the devil's tears, rain falling in the sunlight
