Contradictory

Seconds tick by Quicksand-slow Time inches forward But I can't tell Slow down or speed up? I can't make up my mind I can't wait for tomorrow But I'm running out of time Bittersweet time My fear and my foe Longing for the simpler days Longing for a home Waiting for everything And nothing at all Today we may fly And tomorrow we fall Temporary permanence To stay or to go? Eerything matters And nothing does too One love dies And another one blooms Equilibrium off-kilter And balance upended One thing begins Because another one's ended Nothing's forever Everything's eternal Contradictory agreement And heavenly hell Squalid splendor And honest lies What happens to the universe When forever dies?
