Hands Of Time
(Josh Campbell-Brian Weber -6/02)

You tie the knot
You pull it tight
I'm suffocating here tonight
Locked in your embrace
You hold the noose
You keep it loose
But in the end I'm gonna lose
This race against time

Sometimes it feels like I'm chasing the wind
And other times it moves so slow
Feels like I'm fading in these bones and this skin
And all I really want to know
I really need to know is what's true

Please tell me what in the world it is that I'm living for
'Cause I don't think that I can live like this anymore
And when I exit this life what is it I'll leave behind
Got no reason or rhyme living in the hands of time

I'm on the clock
I'm in the race
And yeah I pay for my mistakes
In lost time
We live our lives
The hands revolve
And yet the riddle's still not solved
Isn't that right

notes: I work for a printer repair and supply company and at the time of writing this song I was a service technician. I remember having a rough recording of this song from Josh C and driving to various service calls struggling with the lyrics and melody for it... and then one day heading to Skokie on a call they just started coming to me... and all these thoughts of the meaning of life and what are we on this earth for, etc came out and I jotted them down. Many people can identify with this song... I think about everyone has asked the question "what's it all for? why am I here and is there any meaning to it all?"... Much existential angst... You dig? --Brian Weber
