Dead Clocks
Why is time flying as I'm aging?
Why do I become past due
before I’m early?
The clock is out to stop me.
Who’s out to hurt me?
I’ll send a prayer to the sky
for you myself.
I simply vanish my enemies
by breathing out.
Why not let out a smile?
That’s like watering the plants
surrounding their graves
with my piss.
I’m shy with kindness
cause time is never kind.
It is a cruel monster.
It’ll speed up,
but won’t slow down for ya.
When you try to catch up,
you embarrass yourself.
I wish we could bring the good times back.
At 22, should I really be missing the good ol’ days?
What changed that made me start working
just for pay?
When did men become good
for just one thing?
I loved, I laughed,
I explored and I ate.
I was a student in my craft.
Now, I'm just mad
and I throw fits
that weaken my intelligence.
I think I'm 5 steps ahead
because I see the world for what it is:
Cruel and heartless.
I blend in perfectly.
My souls were once on fire, but haven’t been sparked
in so long.
Yes, I said souls. Yes that's plural.
Don’t tell me I’m so wrong.
I know what my life is.
I can't give my heart away
to leave another fool spoiled.
I'm not missing out on anything.
how much time am I wasting
taking back the love
you stole from me?
The hate you give…
I am the hate you gave
Tic-toc, I see your grave.
Remember I'll always be a minute away
as cruel as time.
I’ve got hell in my hands,
stress in my mind
and pain in my heart.
They add up to blood on my rhyme.
I can’t wipe the blood from my rhyme.
It’s like having a stain on something white.
I can’t force these demons out of my life.
I haven’t given up,
I’ve given it a thousand tries.
I’ve accepted the truth
a battle I can’t win isn’t worth the fight.
I won’t say I let myself lose.
You think I loss?
I guarantee
I won’t let you find proof.
Regardless of what you do you won’t stop me.
What’s spookier than perfect timing?
