White Boy Time
Machine Safety Tips.

00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:09.310 align:middle line:84%
And all the sentences kind
of run into each other.

00:00:09.310 --> 00:00:12.870 align:middle line:84%
I understand no one wants to
be remembered at the 20 year

00:00:12.870 --> 00:00:15.150 align:middle line:84%
high school reunion
as the guy who

00:00:15.150 --> 00:00:19.650 align:middle line:84%
cut off the tips of his fingers,
trying to dissect a fetal pig.

00:00:19.650 --> 00:00:21.780 align:middle line:84%
I really wish I
could help everyone

00:00:21.780 --> 00:00:25.050 align:middle line:84%
who asked for winning lottery
numbers or a second chance

00:00:25.050 --> 00:00:28.140 align:middle line:84%
at something better than
a fully furnished patio.

00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:30.390 align:middle line:84%
But no matter how
many times I've tried,

00:00:30.390 --> 00:00:32.070 align:middle line:90%
the town still burns.

00:00:32.070 --> 00:00:34.440 align:middle line:84%
Unlike a wound or
fire, time needs

00:00:34.440 --> 00:00:36.900 align:middle line:84%
no tending because
the flames will come.

00:00:36.900 --> 00:00:39.420 align:middle line:84%
Even if it doesn't
come from your hands.

00:00:39.420 --> 00:00:40.620 align:middle line:90%
"Are we done here?"

00:00:40.620 --> 00:00:43.140 align:middle line:84%
the machine asks, while
buttoning its pants.

00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:45.990 align:middle line:84%
The red metal of
its hips cooling.

00:00:45.990 --> 00:00:48.510 align:middle line:84%
Near a river, I
see my grandfather.

00:00:48.510 --> 00:00:51.390 align:middle line:84%
For the first time he
is not a photograph.

00:00:51.390 --> 00:00:53.790 align:middle line:90%
I want to fall into his hands.

00:00:53.790 --> 00:00:57.330 align:middle line:84%
My favorite story begins
with, let me remember.

00:00:57.330 --> 00:01:00.450 align:middle line:84%
I cannot stop him from
disappearing into the wall

00:01:00.450 --> 00:01:01.410 align:middle line:90%
of smoke.

00:01:01.410 --> 00:01:05.099 align:middle line:84%
I don't know how much ruin
I can drag through time.

00:01:05.099 --> 00:01:09.390 align:middle line:84%
How much ash can fill a bed
before history claims my name.

00:01:09.390 --> 00:01:11.880 align:middle line:84%
Let me tell you the
problem with history.

00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:15.180 align:middle line:84%
Somewhere, somewhere,
someone wants you gone.

00:01:15.180 --> 00:01:17.190 align:middle line:84%
Don't you think
I know the rules.

00:01:17.190 --> 00:01:20.190 align:middle line:84%
Fasten your seatbelt.
Keep your arms inside.

00:01:20.190 --> 00:01:24.290 align:middle line:84%
The white boy's throat, a
light jacket for the rain.
