Rachel Portman - Passage Of Time (movie: "Chocolat")

The title means "Instable balance" in german, and that's what I feel about - the political situation in the U.S. , which are ruled by mad criminals, making friends with Putin, the most dangerous and reckless man in Europe since Hitler... the ignorance of the climate change... the lack of solidarity and cooperation in our societies... the political situation in my own country, which makes it hard (or at least harder) to simply make music. It took several efforts to complete this tune, that is, though, optimistic and uplifting, I think.

This was a track I did a while ago and just remembered about. It was supposed to be for a puzzle RPG game but the game director decided it was too happy for the mood of the game. I then went and did a darker rendition which was used and I may upload at some point.

Clock Section (old unused track for video game)

I got days now
I don't want to think about it
All my days
All alone, while
Hurt leads to hurt,
And then I closed my heart for a moment.

You, barely coping, and on me leaning,
To me I lost your words' meaning, 
'cause I turned away for just a minute
Then troubled waters flooding in,
And there I was, about to, 
To let you go.

What cruel lesson broke my heart?
What left me dying but loving your art?
Don't have to think of it now,
I can always be the one,
So, let me in and set me free
You must not leave... before me. 

I got days now
I don't want to think about it
All my days
All alone, while
Hurt leads to hurt,
And closed my eyes for just a moment.

You, barely coping, and on me leaning,
To me I lost your words' meaning, 
'cause I closed my eyes for just a minute
Then troubled waters flooding in,
And there I was, about to, 
To let you go.

A cruel lesson broke my heart 
What left me dying but loving your art?
Don't have to think of it now,
I can always be the one,
So, let me in and set me free
You must not leave before me. 

I got days now
I don't want to think about it
All my days
All alone, while
Hurt leads to hurt,
But the flames of eternal love never noticed
The flames of eternal love never noticed.


All My Days

(Verse 1)
I say words don’t mean much,
not when the truth’s been burned.
You tried to build it back with silence,
but silence never learned.
The cracks still show through every promise,
like scars that never fade,
and every time you reach for faith,
You find the trust was never made.

(Chorus)
’Cause trust is hard to earn,
easy to spend,
lost somewhere between
a lie and a friend.
It don’t come quick,
and it won’t return clean —
but if I stand my ground,
You might believe again.

(Verse 2)
We keep talkin’ ‘bout new beginnings,
but the past won’t let us go.
Every truth sounds like forgiveness
that we’re scared to show.
I ain’t sayin’ it’s all broken,
just sayin’ it’s been rough —
to make your heart believe again,
Haven't I bled enough.

(Chorus)
’Cause trust is hard to earn,
easy to spend,
lost somewhere between
a lie and a friend.
It don’t come cheap,
and it won't return clean —
but if I stay long enough,
You might believe again.

(Bridge)
Maybe time’s the only proof we get,
maybe words can’t fix regret.
But every hand you hold,
every truth you keep —
it builds what we both forget.

(Outro)
So don’t promise me forever,
just stand here till it’s true.
’Cause trust don’t start with talking —
it starts with you.
