All That Matters Is The Moments - The Comet is Coming, Joshua Idehen

The Comet is Coming!

Babylon burned down!

Our time has come, our clock has run out

The arctic has cracked, the mountain is popped, the river is ripped,

the air is churned

The skyscraper is falling, like volume turned down

I see all, from the cliff side, by the ring side

From the front seat view of the riptide

I, this man, me, this matchstick

Understand the futility of our antics

How pointless, the decimals, the zeros of my fabric

My trainer’s, my fabric, my designer casket

Just me, the last link in this unbroken chain

Who fell away and came to life of crucifix slave

I, this man

I know this now, I know this now

All that matters is the moments

All that matters is the moments

Yeah

A dash of clarity, holding half a bowl of chips

My shaking has over just above the hips

Or wasn’t she a glass?

I could do with a sip

A country of dreams wrote an anthem on her lips

All of my lyrics never made a good song

Here’s good work and the end went wrong

I broke some of fast, some of fast broke me

Spent too long day dreaming over what I wanted

What was, what is, and what probably won’t be

I know the claustrophobia of family

The cold comfort of friendship, numb touch of concrete, the soles of my feet

bricks ancient history’s deleted it

Oh London, my love, my like dominoes the plastic people stumble into past

Breeze blocks and colors, squashing to the tapes

Southeast London, flames

I know this now, I know this now

All that matters is the moments

All that matters is the moments

Who’s knocking

Split lips

Rush of blood couldn’t

Beach house, play it loud

Passing out in passing clouds

Long before they shot it down

Double storm come show through the cracks still

We made our kingdoms in the corners of their castle

But it all falls down in the end over me

All these monuments, all of these moments, they fall on my body and they pile

on my mind

On my head is quicksand and my mind would not set

The end of the world and my mind would not set

My mind would not set, my mind would not set

It’s the end of the world and my mind is not set

The Comet Is Coming!
