For the Record

I'm filling up my memory slots
With what ever happens or not
Storing up seconds split
Into infinite bits I fit
Every first every last detail
Every grain, every truth and nail
I'm holding on to the last
Moment that's just flown past
For the future that still exists
In my fists, just got to save this
(For the record)
It's going down wrapped in this sound
(For the record)
I'm setting it straight before it's too late
(For the record)
To heed the call that's in us all
With every line I'm marking time

Zooming in zooming out to frame
The same scene re-playing over again
Backing up in the cloud nine
Where it's fine all time it's mine
Every piece every part of the picture
Every view every new permanent fixture
I'm holding on to the last
Moment that's just flown past
For the future I've yet to find
In my mind I won't get left behind
(For the record)
It's going down wrapped in this sound
(For the record)
I'm setting it straight before it's too late
(For the record)
I'm tracking the years as they disappear
With every line I'm marking time

Looking back in this future
If my memory should ever fail
It's there at the tip of my finger
On the glass like a holy grail

And to the end I pretend won't come
It's someone else's race to be won
Forgetting everything I've learned
As tides turned frozen fingers burned
Every note is one more for the score
Every straw that I choose to draw
I'm holding on to the last
Moment that's just flown past
For the future that still exists
In my fists, just got to save this
(For the record)
It's going down wrapped in this sound
(For the record)
I'm setting it straight before it's too late
(For the record)
For no one knows how it will go
With every line I'm marking time
