Evan Onion, Evan Onion How Well We Burn Time

Corner café chipped glass late night
Ash in the tray half truth half pride
Clock on the wall lost count that’s fine
We don’t measure life we just measure this vibe
Hookah on the table smoke writes our names
Cards on the floor small talk big claims
You ask what I’m chasing i say “this line”
You say “that’s all?” i say “that’s how i stay alive”
Look how well we burn time
Turn seconds into gold in our minds
Got nothing but a story and a rhyme
Still we shine still we shine
Look how well we burn time
From sunrise to the middle of the night
If all i have is you on this ride
We’ll be fine we’ll be fine
Spice in the air steel pot slow stew
Old song playing from a cracked phone half-tuned
Grandma in the kitchen hums something off-key
Same four notes that somehow set me free
Lantern on the balcony neighbors talk loud
Kids on the stairs build empires out of clouds
You say we’re behind i say “behind what line?”
We draw our own borders on the backside of time
Look how well we burn time
Turn seconds into gold in our minds
Got nothing but a story and a rhyme
Still we shine still we shine
Look how well we burn time
From sunrise to the middle of the night
If all i have is you on this ride
We’ll be fine we’ll be fine
Prayer call echoes cuts through the noise
For a split second the city loses its voice
Then right back to laughter back to this light
Look how well we burn time
Turn seconds into gold in our minds
Got nothing but a story and a rhyme
Still we shine still we shine
Look how well we burn time
From sunrise to the middle of the night
If all i have is you on this ride
We’ll be fine yeah we’ll be fine (oh)
