Lyrics

Well I’m on my way to rescue my time 
But the lonely cat won’t leave my side 
I try my best to be just who I am 
But my very own mind won’t be my friend 
Yeah the lonely cat keeps clawing at my wall 
Where the time stands still & he doesn’t hear me call
& I know that I have what it takes to repair 
All this chaos in my mind but he still stays here 

Well I walk on the pavement I walk on the dirt 
Where the lonely cat rips holes in my shirt 
There’s a woman in a bar all dressed in silk 
She says please won’t you shout me I only drink milk
Well I ran away but she came after me 
When I got around the corner I turned around to see
The sky turn dark I couldn’t believe 
There was the lonely cat just staring at me

I said why would you want to follow me I just don’t have a clue
She said believe me I would tell you something if only I knew 
& with that she disappeared but left a note there on the ground
Reading I've got your time as hostage & I'm not making a sound
Well I had to save my time I thought I didn’t have the heart 
I was going to give up I just did not know where to start 
As night fell I hurried home to grab my thoughts & pack my things
In the morning I’d be outta here to find where it begins 

Now my time was drifting further now I thought that it would come
With the piercing reflection of the morning sun 
Well I’ve searched in the valley I got picked up by the wind 
I’ve been lost without hope but then I’ve found myself again 
As I tried to save it closely now into my empty hands 
It all fell through my fingertips just like sand 
& I’d give up my last breath just to sleep under the trees
'Cause my time is running out & I know nothing comes for free 

I went looking through my telescope I searched all through the skies
But it only brought my memories closer to my eyes 
Of the many that I asked well not a single one did care 
When I asked if I could buy time with the change I had to spare
Now I only had an hour left until the time struck 
I was sick of all the searching I was hoping for some luck 
I said I just don’t have the courage man this cat she’s cold as ice
They say time just depends on how far you’ve rolled the dice

I paid a visit to my mind who was still not my friend 
He said time will only last until the end 
I said man you must be joking all this stuff has got me beat
So I packed up all my things & I went & hit the streets 
I gave up all my searching I veered off the dotted line
Then I ended up becoming friends with my mind 
Got some milk for the woman when I finally went back 
She told me time it belongs to the lonely cat
