Testo Time is hardcore High Contrast

Time is hardcore

The past is, the past is, the past is a bastard
Keeps asking for favours
And turning up half-cut at family parties
With the same old excuses
Breaking all the furniture
And changing the music
Can't wrench nothing out of yesterday, it's gone
How do you settle that score?
Got you like a soldier in peace time desperate for war
'Cause what was real then isn't real anymore

Keep spinning or stop in your tracks, keep grinning
Or let it all smash, keep winning
Or give it all back, keep running
Or let it go flat, let it go
No, you won't get it back
Keep spinning or stop in your tracks, keep grinning
Or let it all smash, keep winning
Or give it all back, keep running
Or let it go flat, let it go
No, you won't get it back

W?'ve come a long, long, long, long way
From the start
W?'ve come a long, long, long, long way
From the start
And even if we fall from grace
We get back up
We've come a long, long way
We've come a long, long way

Yeah-ah-ah-ah oh
Yeah-ah-ah-ah oh
Time is hardcore
Yeah-ah-ah-ah oh

Forwards the whole day, backwards the whole night
Wake up with yesterday's shadow and hold tight to nothing
Slow flight to nowhere
Ready to jump but there's no air
It's all made of glass and steel
Proof is real
Get it embossed on the gold-plated wheel
Spin it until it reveals the reason you don't feel to feel
Held up by decisions you make
It's a mistake but it isn't too late
Somewhere it's morning, call it, it's bait
I'm the genuine article in a world of superior fakes
How very internet of you
The right-on-o-meter is striking a thousand
I want bliss, lean in, kiss
Feel bass in face and lips
Exist, exist or, if not that, then this
Look, I was in a gold robe, beaming
The light was intense and the strength I was feeling
Was swimming lengths in my veins I believed in love
The way of all flesh had decreed it love
The way of all flesh had decreed it love
The way of all flesh had decreed it love

Keep spinning or stop in your tracks, keep grinning
Or let it all smash, keep winning
Or give it all back, keep running
Or let it go flat, let it go
No, you won't get it back
Keep spinning or stop in your tracks, keep grinning
Or let it all smash, keep winning
Or give it all back, keep running
Or let it go flat, let it go
No, you won't get it back

We've come a long, long, long, long way
From the start
We've come a long, long, long, long way
From the start
And even if we fall from grace
We get back up
We've come a long, long way
We've come a long, long way

Yeah-ah-ah-ah oh
Yeah-ah-ah-ah oh
How very internet of you
