I wish you wouldn't ignore me 
I texted you last morning
You said you’d call me early 
you said you’d call me early
I thought you didn't like parties 
apparently, now you’re changing
I hope you don't exchange me 
I hope you don't exchange me
You're so cute, maybe 
we could still start dating
You said you'd think about it 
I doubt you think about it
I don't wanna die alone 
can you just pick up the phone?
I'm so in love with you 
I'm so in love with you

This track explores the inevitable decay of hope and the realization that the wheels have finally come undone. Exploring themes of aging, isolation, and the exposure of our darkest secrets, "On a Long Enough Timeline" is a cynical look at mortality. It asks the question: Was I chosen, or was this just a joke? The answer is buried in the smoke. 

A dark Velvet-Trip soundscape about the inevitability of the end.

Sub-bass, goth guitars, whispered vocals, and noir aesthetics.

Lyrics:

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Is it the end or just the intro
I could have been a hero or an old joke
Was I chosen, was it spoken
I have to know
On a long enough timeline we all get the smoke
I need to know

[Chorus]
The road's gone on too long
The wheels have come undone
The rearview mirror's lost its reflection
I wish I was still young
I wish I still had some hope that my voice mattered or it would make a difference
So I carry on
And I hold on
Till they come and take me home
Take me home

[Post-Chorus]
Take me home

[Verse 2]
Can you hear me, am I fading
I need to know
On a long enough timeline
We all die alone
I need to know

[Chorus]
The road's gone on too long
The wheels have come undone
The rearview mirror's lost its reflection
I wish I was still young
I wish I still had some hope that my voice mattered or it would make a difference
So I carry on
And I hold on
Till they come and take me home
Take me home

[Post-Chorus]
Take me home

[Bridge]
The door's closed, it's too late
But there's something I need to say
They got the best of us and I need to know
If there's a hell below we're all gonna go
And on a long enough timeline
We all get exposed

[Chorus]
The road's gone on too long
The wheels have come undone
The rearview mirror's lost its reflection
I wish I was still young
I wish I still had some hope that my voice mattered or it would make a difference
So I carry on
And I hold on
Till they come and take me home
Take me home

[Outro]
Take me home

Conduit - On a Long Enough Timeline

Spit your staged grief
Twist it for your chosen audience
False scars flaunted
Begging for a witness to your storm
Crafted fragile cries
Claiming torment built from hollow gestures
Still you circle hoping someone trembles
For you

As if I should kneel
Now
Now
As if I should kneel
Now
Now

Wearing martyr masks for praise
Wearing martyr masks for praise

Bent pose shown
Meant to frame your self-made agony
Cheap rites staged
Built to drag the room into your script
Tales you whisper loud
Urging shadows close to hide your fractures
Still you circle hoping someone trembles
For you

As though I pull loose lies
Down
Down
As though I pull loose lies
Down
Down
As though I pull loose lies
Pulled down
Pulled down
Pulled down
As though I pull loose lies
Pulled down
Down

Wearing martyr masks for praise
Wearing martyr masks for praise

Show your pose
Angle every break for sympathy
Scripted grief spread
Built to make your downfall feel prophetic
Would you tear yourself apart to look holy
Rather than stand plain without an audience
I won’t carry weight you forged from theater

Lost My Senses
