Revolution

Another year goes by, and I'm still comparing myself to someone I meant to become.

About the song

I look back at the promises I made to myself and wonder when the terms changed. A year can disappear while I'm still deciding whether I've done enough with it. I don't always know how to measure the distance between who I am and who I thought I'd be by now.

Revolution lyrics

I'm looking back
I'm looking through
My heart is cold
My face is new
Ten thousand hours
Blink and you'll miss it
Gravity pulls
I can't resist it

Am I the man I wanted to be yesterday?
Am I the man I wanted to be last year?
The target moves
The mirror lies
The child in me
Slowly dies

One more revolution
One more rotation
Just a spinning stone
No destination
Another trip around the sun
Another war
I haven't won

Shadows stretch
Days retract
Memory becomes
So abstract
I built a house
On shifting sand
Time slips through
My open hand

Am I the man I promised to be yesterday?
Am I the man I promised to be last year?
The target moves
The mirror cracks
The child in me
Never comes back

One more revolution
One more rotation
Just a spinning stone
No destination
Another trip around the sun
Another war
I haven't won

White noise
Quiet fear
The starting line
Is nowhere near
Just the turn
Just the spin
Worn down bone
Wrinkled skin

One more revolution
One more rotation
Just a spinning stone
No destination
Another trip around the sun
Another war
That can't be won

One more revolution
One more rotation

Hands creep around
The face of the clock

I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
