LYRICS:

(I don’t know where)
You can walk an off piste path with an off key past
You can screenshot the present but that thought won’t last
Seconds turn to minutes and minutes turn to hours
Questioning reality and if it’s really ours
Where did the time go?
Where did the time go? (Gosh)
Where did the time go?
Where did the time go?

Sniffed up on a school night like everything is alright
We snapped the steering lock and sped off on your bike
It was 2003 in a stolen Metro with _______
With enough alcohol in us to intoxicate a family
His uncle said “you’ve got one life to live be sure you don’t waste it
This lifestyles not for you but I guess life is what you make it”
It’s funny how this little chats can have such an impact
I’ve mingled with all classes posh twats and grim cats
Been in flats with crack smoke they’re kids are in the next room
Been in mansions with daddies girls sniffing off a ket spoon
And what I’ve learned from this is all class is irrelevant
Guys in posh suits act as fraudsters committing embezzlement
Guys dressed in tracksuits rummaging through your possessions 
All slaves to a currency of bank crashes and recessions
The rise of the Empire, the return of the Jedi
Revelations in the middle east and people praying to a dead guy

You can walk an off piste path with an off key past
You can screenshot the present but that thought won’t last
Seconds turn to minutes and minutes turn to hours
Questioning reality and if it’s really ours
Where did the time go?
Where did the time go? (Gosh)
Where did the time go? (Look)
Where did the time go?

I wasted time now time doth waste me
Said William Shakespeare regurgitated by me 
I keep calling Jesus but the voicemails are mounting
James the just or Paul like what am I amounting to
Socially distanced and anxious of making an outing
The devils outside and that cunt keeps shouting
If you get rich too quick then quickly you will lose it 
He told me “I once held socialist views”
Then questioned “Do you know what no focus will do? 
You’ll gaze at the distance and soak up no views”
Judge me on my talent, make your malevolence apparent 
Shallow Hal’s hell we fell for an egotistical imbalance of
A.I. Frankensteins, Designer babies, cured cancers 
Big pharma, big tech, big egos, big chancers 
All work by human hands eventually turns to dust
As we watch it pour in an hour glass until our times up

You can walk an off piste path with an off key past
You can screenshot the present but that thought won’t last
Seconds turn to minutes and minutes turn to hours
Questioning reality and if it’s really ours
Where did the time go?
Where did the time go? (Gosh)
Where did the time go? (I don’t know where)
Where did the time go?
