Can I write a last-minute song?
A moment and then we're gone.
Nothing left to say, only games to play.
A fool would I be to engage.
Can I form a last-minute plea?
Pictures that we couldn't see.
Nothing left to live, only time to give.
A fool would last longer than me.
A word, a song, what a thing to say.
No signs, no deeds, just a breath to take.
A moment's fortune bringing you back to me.
A laugh, a frown, what a strange surround.
No fists, no fights, just a sighing sound.
A moment's sunshine bringing you back to me.
Can I find a last-minute plan?
Take you on hand-in-hand
Nothing left to think, only pride to sink.
A fool would get out while they can.
A word, a song, what a thing to say.
No signs, no deeds, just a breath to take.
A moment's fortune bringing you back to me.
A laugh, a frown, what a strange surround.
No fists, no fights, just a sighing sound.
A moment's sunshine bringing you back to me.
Say you'll get this soon,
Forget the fiery doom,
Find it or we're screwed...
...What a mood.
A word, a song, what a thing to say.
No signs, no deeds, just a breath to take.
A moment's fortune bringing you back to me.
A laugh, a frown, what a strange surround.
No fists, no fights, just a dying sound.
A moment's sunshine bringing you back to me.
Can I write a last-minute song -
One where my thoughts don't last long?
Nothing left to choose, only sense to lose.
A fool would have run... (wait, that's me)

TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati
