One Minute Closer - gizo and the ADADADADADADADADADAD

every morning I wake up
I look at your face
there's a beauty when sleeping
that keeps me in place

I don't want to get up
I don't want to start the day
watching the clock tick tock
as our days just slip away

one minute closer
to the end
one minute closer

If I get around to recording it.

Did you think I couldn't ever understand
Or did you even care when your lies began?
You could've told the truth, you could've walked away.
Why can't you explain the reasons you stayed?

The truth is cold, the truth is empty
The truth is all I need
The truth isn't worth a goddamn penny
Now that you've lied to me

Don't tell me no
I need to know the reasons why
You had to lie
No, I don't know

Nothing that you're saying is making sense
No, I don't understand your arguments
Are you trying to blame me for the things you've done?
Are you trying to blame me for what you've become?

The truth is cold, the truth is empty
The truth is all I need
The truth isn't worth a goddamn penny
Now that you've lied to me

Don't tell me no
I need to know the reasons why
You had to lie
No, I don't know

Thinking of the times I held you when you cried
One minute closer to revealing all your lies

The truth is cold, the truth is empty
The truth is all I need
The truth isn't worth a goddamn penny
Now that you've lied to me

Don't tell me no
I need to know the reasons why
You had to lie
No, I don't know

Can't wait to be next to you

One Minute Closer - Paco del Stinko

One minute closer
To total death
Less Than sixty seconds
Til your last breath

We finally decided
To end it all
We all get tickets
To the oblivion ball

We screwed it
And we knew it
No second chances for us
We can never re-do it

One minute closer
And that is all

One Minute Closer - Night Sky

The snow poured over the alps
Like a mother’s hand caressing her new baby’s scalp
Pulled the glove from my right hand
Risking my fingers in the hope you’d understand

Your smooth hand slipped into mine
As though we’d planned it - our breath danced before the dawn

We stood there down in the valley
The sun rose up like a starting gun through the trees
We blazed the trail no intention to fail
Bound to reach the top before the sun fell to the sea

We were walking into love
Running out of time
One minute closer
To the top of the climb

As we hiked in the sunshine
We swapped our dispatches with the few passersby
We knew only where we had been
We had no way to know how the story would end

We were walking into love
Running out of time
One minute closer
To the top of the climb

Feels like the end is nigh
Got us believing lies surrendering to vibes
It’s the news got us blue
Iodide and cyanide and what we can’t do

Got a slice of cherry pie
It sits between us, the ice cream melts slowly as we cry

There’s a field of sunflowers
Gruesome and holy full of ashes and valor
Crying time is up what we still need is love
Let’s strut on outta here we got the guts to stand up

We’ll go walking into love
Like we’re running out of time
One minute closer
To the end of the line

We’re always one minute closer
To the end of the line

One Minute Closer - The Mellfire Trifecta

Trouble’s been brewing, plates have been thrown
It’s a scene, man, it’s a scene
But I’m moving on today, yes, it’s today
From a nightmare that swallowed up a dream

He’s been depressed and she is depressing
I’ve been the chump in the middle
Always choose your roommates with care
It’s not such a complicated riddle

But now I’m one minute closer to drama-free living
One minute closer to a full-night’s sleep
One minute closer….

After he met her, he asked me what I thought
I told him that he could do better
I said “I know a girl who won’t self-combust,
Just because you forgot to fold a sweater”

Oh, how I wish he had listened to me
But his attic wasn’t talking to his basement
Logic would not be his friend on that day
And I know what that smile on his face meant

But now I’m one minute closer to hungry man meals
One minute closer to a space of my own
One minute closer to me on a moving truck
Well on the way to not hearing them every time they…

Fall out, then crawl back
Disfunction, Black Russians and crying
Me cowering inside my room
Wishing this day would arrive

One minute closer…

One minute closer to peace and good will
One minute closer to Netflix and chill
One minute closer to living alone tonight
Well on the way to not hearing their every fight, every time they….

Fall out, then crawl back
Emotions erupt and subside
Me packing up all of my stuff
Hoping/knowing this day would arrive

One minute closer…

One Minute Closer
by Berkeley Social Scene

We’re blind in a forest
Full of burning trees
Raging all around us
Still we don’t believe
The oceans are rising
Swallowing our towns
But we’re too busy fighting
Over who gets to wear the crown

There’s a dark new day
Now it’s one minute closer
You won’t recognize the world
When this storm blows over
The smoke is choking the sky
It’s creeping ever nearer
You will wonder why
We just watched and stood by

We’re deaf to the screams
Howling in the breeze
Ignoring mass extinction
Cause it won’t come for us
So lost in our vices
Scrolling our devices
Didn’t know what we had
Til it all turned to dust

There’s a dark new day
Now it’s one minute closer
You won’t recognize the world
When this storm blows over
The smoke is choking the sky
It’s creeping ever nearer
You will wonder why
We just watched and stood by

There’s a dark new day
Now it’s one minute closer
You won’t recognize the world
When this storm blows over
The smoke is choking the sky
It’s creeping ever nearer
You will wonder why
We just watched and stood by

One Minute Closer

Early to bed on a school night, eyes still open wide,
Tiny dots swirled in the dark, right at my bedside.
Mom tucked me in an hour ago and kissed me on the chin.
She said this day had run its course, never to return again.
No matter how tight I try to hold, the seconds slip away.
One minute closer to tomorrow, turn the calendar page.
How many days have come and gone, and how many nights?
How many sunsets will I see before I lose my sight?

If a day is like a thousand years, how long is the rule of the just?
In a time, times, and half a time, will everything turn to dust?
Who are the guys in sackcloth that close the skies to rain,
That turn the water into blood, ascend after being slain?
One minute closer to the moment when the holy city descends,
A minute closer to the new beginning, one minute closer to the end.
How many days are still to come, and how many nights?
How many sunsets will there be till the city glows with light?

One minute closer, one minute closer, one minute closer.

They say Heaven goes on forever, time without an end.
It’s hard to even think about, impossible to comprehend.
It used to keep me up at night, in troubled childish thought,
My fingers entwined together, fidgety and distraught.
The magnitude of infinity used to make me sad,
But Augustine explains it better than the Sunday school dads.
How many days have come and gone, and how many nights?
How many sunsets will I see before I lose my sight?

One Minute Closer - Brown Word and the Big Whine

Floating like a red balloon
At the end of the world
Midnight tolls the certain doom
One minute closer

The hands have trembled
Seconds to the hour
Midnight over all we've ever known
One minute closer

He said "I am become death"
Those were his famous words
We only have the one pale blue Earth
For said destroyer of worlds

When there is nowhere left to turn
And only everything to burn
When worldwide murder is the sum
Behold the king of hell hath won

One minute closer
One minute
Closer

One Minute Closer

I'm one minute closer
and you're an hour behind
I'm one minute closer
We can still get there on time

I can slow right down
You can make up ground
I can pull off to the side

I can just hit pause and we'll both arrive on time

I'm one mile closer
and you're one fathom behind
I'm one mile closer
But we keep following signs

I can pump the brakes
so you won't be late
Whatever you decide

I can just hit pause and we'll both arrive on time

I can wait for you
I will wait for you
I will wait and compromise

I'm one measure closer
And you're one meter behind
As the coda gets closer
The crescendo's just fine

I can pump the brakes
so you won't be late
I promise I won't mind

I can just hit pause and we'll both arrive on time

I'm one minute closer
I'm one minute closer
I'm one minute closer
I'm one minute closer

every day is the end of the world
another chance to make things right
another lost opportunity hurled
into the teeth of night

every hour is the end of the world
I just can’t say the things I need to
to you, and I don’t know if you
even want me to

we’re one minute closer
and light years farther apart
oh my heart

we’re one minute closer
but we still didn’t even start
oh my heart

[Verse]
It comes from the skies
Bones are cracking and there’s fear in our eyes
Off in the distance hear the shrieks and the cries
Down in the mud we crawl but soon we will rise
The black shadows fall
They storm the city and they break through the wall
Force of a hurricane and noise of a squall
The rain is blood and now it covers us all

[Chorus]
Mountains cave in
Now bleed like the wind
I’ll rise from the ruins
To take revenge
We burn in the light
You choke and I’ll bite
I rage when you whisper
A minute closer to midnight

[Second Verse]
It’s too late to scream
Here in the smoke it’s getting harder to breathe
All you can do is stare in shocked disbelief
The last survivors swallowed up by the sea
A hand in the dark
It gripped our throats before it struck at our hearts
We tried to run but didn’t get very far
Just like they told us, love will tear us apart

[Chorus]

[interlude]
Nobody sees you
Nobody hears you
No one will find you

One Minute Closer
by WreckdoM

You ride these rails, you sleep on straw
You got stink, wine to drink, Zs to saw
If you're routed out, there's still the banks
Where you'll retire, light a fire and give thanks
You don't quarrel like two dogs with a bone
Don't stir the dogs, leave it all alone
You got a thumb and a direction home
Ain't no other way that you been shown
You're one step closer to your riches
You're one step further out these ditches
In time there will be bread and wine delicious
The dawn that waits beyond is truly bitchin
"Ain't no postcards! No correspondence!"
Is this independence, or despondence?
In a world of hurt and cruelty so relentless
You are your own saint and your own witness
You're one step closer to your riches
Soon you'll own more than belt and britches
Kiss goodbye to mops and piles of dirty dishes
The dawn that waits beyond is truly bitchin
The dawn that waits beyond is truly bitchin, truly bitchin, truly bitchin

Gray

One minute closer to a brand new start
One minute closer to breakin another heart
One minute closer to walking out the door
One minute closer, maybe more

Well I don't know if I should go
or wait another day
The one thing I can tell you is
that I'd prefer, not to say

[Outro]
You've got to make up your mind
You've got to make up your mind
You're just one minute closer
To runnin out of time

One Minute Closer
(J. Bennett)

It's all a watched pot.
Stomach's in a double-knot.
Sugar wafer never was the body of Christ,
but I ate it anyway.

I'm waiting... still waiting...
One minute closer to you.

Even a watched pot's gonna boil.
Even a watched fruit's gonna spoil.
Why buy a ticket when you can slip through a crack in the fence.
Why buy new, no one cares about scratches & dents.

I'm waiting... still waiting...
One minute turns into two.
