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?
