Time is a social institution and not a physical reality

lyrics

Time is a social institution and not a physical reality.
There is, in other words, no such thing as time in the natural world,
the world of stars and waters and mountains and could and living organisms.
There is such a thing as rhythm.
I drink all night so that I won't dream.
I pulled the old jack of diamonds when I played my queen.
But my soul is lost somewhere between the two and the ace.
I turned myself into a clock
with my hands on my face.
I'm keeping time everywhere there's no space.
There's a sundial in the back of my mouth.
I'm breathing shadows every time I face south.
I saw the truth of the sun in the light of the moon.
I'm keeping time from running away with the dishes and spoon.
I'm keeping time everyone where there's no space.
You must have said fuck the clock at least a hundred times past.
But I'm keeping time now that you've made me out of glass.
