Close your eyes and I'll sing you a lullaby. It's tempo kept by the hands of a clock, shooting round after round, killing time.

Each time I go to bed, it's becoming more likely I've lived longer than I have left to live.

Here are the roughly 1.2 billion seconds, scattered across the past, collected into minutes. Minutes fashioned into the hours of some 14,000 days.

This clock, this trick-tock son of a bitch, would have you and me believe time doesn’t exist. He rounds from 12 to 12, again and again, promising another day in a parade of tomorrows.

But watch with me, and soon we'll see. There's nothing promised after midnight.

TAKE YOUR TIME is the seventh WAVE of SOULED and ran concurrently with the construction of ATB's ambitious time machine project: the AION.

The AION debuted at an invite-only studio show LAGNIAPPE on 02/29/2024 coinciding with the  close of WAVE 7.
