[Verse 1] The hands of the clock fall from the bone A gray hat exhales smoke A shadow slips through the city of encephalization Eighty years of tunneling When I slipped through the cage of symbols Suddenly my fingertips grasped the mud [Verse 2] The light of Ippie at the bottom of oblivion A hollow in the sandbox, directly witnessed Meaningless transfer from bucket to cup Dynamic equilibrium at the water's edge I close my ears to the calling voice And I become temporarily deaf [Chorus] Momo's time thief I won't give up my "now, here" In the block universe In the giant ice That puddle from that day begins to melt The vibrations of my internal organs resonate Defragmented into the time of the stars [Verse 3] Throw away your clock in the Pirahã forest Discard the forbidden phrase, "What are you making?" Cut your losses with words of evaluation An amorphous entity where subject and object are undifferentiated The wet black soil beneath the fallen leaves A companion that simply stands there [Bridge] Instantaneous erasure, a leap of enthusiasm The pruning of synapses echoes in the dead of night Past and future are illusions of the brain They stole them From the gap in the second hand What overflows is a muddy eternity [Chorus] Momo, you time thief I won't give up my "here and now" In the giant ice of the block universe That puddle from that day is melting The vibrations of my internal organs resonate Defragmented into the time of the stars [Outro] The sound of a shovel, crunch, crunch... My monologue blends with the wind "The water is cold, isn't it?" "I'm just there" Time flows away in the water... (Fade out with ambient sand and rain sounds)
