Before The Time (Feat. Harrison Young)

by Orange County Death March

/

about

Friend of OCDM Harrison Young does most of the heavy lifting on this track. We sent him a track with what we thought was a nonsense place-holder title. He turned it into a brilliant Covid isolation redux. We're channeling Dr. Dre a bit on this one. Hope that's ok.

Exclusive on Bandcamp until April 8, 2022

lyrics

Looking out my window and the

Sun is shining bright

Counting down the hours till the

Day turns into night



Lost my connection to the

World I see around

And every step I take is just a

Chance to fall back down



And every time I get back up

I fall into oblivion

My memory corrupts the

Places that I've been



CHORUS

Before the time

Before I locked myself inside

Before the time

Before the access was denied

Before the time

When we were wild and running free

Before the time

Before you took it all away from me



Nowhere to run to now

But I sure know how to hide

I’m trying hard to keep my

Conscience as my guide



And not the algorithms

Staring back at me

Pulling me inward towards

My phone and my TV



And every time I take a stand

I’m cut off at the knees

What good’s a damage plan

When you wish you could be…


Before the time

Before I locked myself inside

Before the time

Before the access was denied

Before the time

When we were wild and running free

Before the time

Before you took it all away from me


What do I see when I look in the mirror?
Every day the end gets a little bit nearer
Back in the day man I thought I could cheat her
Says she's coming round so you better believe her


Looking out my window

As the sun begins to rise

Guess I lost track of time

So it comes as a surprised



Would anybody care

If I stayed in bed all day?

To escape the rat race, and try to

Dream my woes away



Pre-Chorus 3

If I could just get out

Before I’m swallowed whole, would I know

What life was all about

Before I lost control…


Before the time

Before I locked myself inside

Before the time

Before the access was denied

Before the time

When we were wild and running free

Before the time

Before you took it all away from me
