The Space Between Seconds (Five)

Time is a beautiful machine A system that saves humans From stepping off the line Two arms draw us toward safety, A third toward precision, Warning us not to be hasty. But you’re more than a system. Find the space between seconds, Let knowledge guide you, Then step back inside the march Of the beautiful machine. Cold metal welcomes Equally icy souls, Giving them a purpose. The gear in the center Never feels or is held back By the wood surrounding. You’re more than a system. Find the space between seconds, Let knowledge guide you, Then step back inside the march Of the beautiful machine. Discover how the world Works outside of your clock. You are capable. Find new colors, Dissect the sunset And leave the arms behind. You’re more than a system. Find the space between seconds, Let knowledge guide you, Then step back inside the march Of the beautiful machine. Show others the expanse inside atoms, The moment before a lightbulb comes to life. Give them the shade under a tree, Discover light in the emptiness of a glass. Show others the expanse inside atoms, The moment before a lightbulb comes to life. Give them the shade under a tree, Discover light in the emptiness of a glass. You’re more than a system. Find the space between seconds, Let knowledge guide you, Then step back inside the march Of the beautiful machine. Oh, beautiful machine, Find the space between seconds.
