The Unstoppable Glass

The thirteenth chapter of "The Thaw." Time doesn't stop. It doesn't even slow down for a goodbye. This is a song for the moments we wish we could freeze in amber. For the last page of a bedtime story, for the echo of a child's laugh, for the setting sun over a quiet sea. A lament for the fleeting now. 🎭 Artist: ZIMNIK 📀 Album: The Thaw 🌍 Language: English 🕯️ If you wish to support the project, the donation link is in the channel header.

I tried to burn the moment in my mind, A fragile gift I'll never rewind. Her laughter echoed like a fleeting bell, A perfect story too short to tell. The seconds melted into setting sun, And just like that, the milestone was done. [Pre-Chorus] And I reached out my hand to slow the world down, To hold back the hands on the clock's cold crown. But they spun just as fast through my desperate plea, And the hours just laughed as they ran away from me. [Chorus] Time, you're a thief in a velvet glove, You steal the hours from the ones we love. You turn the pages on the sweetest scene, And leave just a memory where the joy had been. Oh, time, you're a river that never slows, You wash away the summer's painted rose. And I wish I could bottle this perfect light... But time, you just keep running through the night. [Verse 2] The sun sets gold on a perfect sea, My lover's head rests quietly on me. The world is silent, there's no war, no fear, I want to freeze this atmosphere. But the tide rolls in and the colours fade, Another beautiful debt that must be paid. The sand runs out of the hourglass, And only the shadow of the joy will last. [Pre-Chorus] And I reached out my hand to slow the world down... [Chorus] Time, you're a thief in a velvet glove... [Bridge] They say "this too shall pass," and I know it's true, But I'd give anything for another minute or two. To hold her hand when she was just knee-high, To see the wonder in her childhood eye. But the past is a country I can't revisit, And the future is a wave I must pivot to meet. So I'll hold the now, with all my might, While the clock keeps ticking, I'll hold on tight. [Final Chorus] Time, you're a thief, but I'll let you go, I'll let the river of the moments flow. I won't try to bottle the fading light, I'll just be grateful for the gift tonight. Time, you're a teacher, cruel and kind, You carve the wrinkles and you shape the mind. And though you never stop your endless flight... I'll hold the now... with all my might. [Outro] The clock still ticks. The river flows. The child grows tall. And the love still grows. And I am grateful for this perfect, fleeting show. Time, you're a thief... but you've taught me how to glow. 💬 ABOUT THE THAW: "The Thaw" is an album about the revolution of the heart.
