[ Featuring Echo ]
The sundial holds the hours, but it doesn't keep the time
It only chases shadows through the arc of its design
I stood there in the twilight, where the edges blur and fade
And watched the day dissolve into the choices we had made
The light bends slowly, but it always moves away
And every fleeting moment is a debt I couldn't pay
Shadows on the sundial, turning with the breeze
Caught between forever and the time we couldn't seize
Tracing every moment, like a path that isn't there
Shadows on the sundial, fading into air
The sundial doesn't argue with the changing of the sky
It welcomes every shadow, lets it pass and says goodbye
I tried to hold the sunlight, but it slipped out of my grasp
And now I'm left with echoes of a future in the past
The earth keeps spinning, but I'm standing still
Watching shadows wander as they bend to time's will
Shadows on the sundial, turning with the breeze
Caught between forever and the time we couldn't seize
Tracing every moment, like a path that isn't there
Shadows on the sundial, fading into air
Maybe time's not something we were ever meant to claim
Maybe chasing after it is just part of the game
But every shadow leaves a mark, a fleeting glimpse of proof
That even in their fading, they're a testament to truth
Shadows on the sundial, turning with the breeze
Caught between forever and the time we couldn't seize
Tracing every moment, like a path that isn't there
Shadows on the sundial, fading into air
The sundial's face is empty now, the light has moved along
But I can hear its silence like the echo of a song
Shadows on the sundial, a memory we share
A fleeting kind of beauty that dissolves into the air
