The Clock

I've been caught up in my mind And time slips away And I've been fine lettin' it die Now, I find It's a waste to let it waste It seems that time's meant to be killed And I will devour all The little seconds, now that pass, I'll make them last Then bleed them dry and use them up And I won't give a fuck if I should fail, if I should fall Bleed it out, I'll give it all, I'll nail myself into the wall The clock is laughin' And I'm gaspin', graspin' Can't relax The time has come To be undone To beat back death It's so much fun The clock's run out So here, I lie awake Combin' through the hours Passed the notes I've scrapped And lookin' for my last mistake Neurotic to the bone These thoughts are not my own, I'm copy-pastin' Fuck it all and I'll erase and start again Searchin' for my voice But all the noise corrupts my mind It's just so hard for me to find the perfect words The melody that works No one would even know No one would notice But, I owe this to myself to make it perfect I am goin' crazy Won't settle for bein' lazy I'm not writin' this for you I don't have shit to prove to you And all I wanna do Is take the time to do this right The first time So, I'll write until I'm blue And maybe you can hear it too The shit that keeps me up 'til two Makes me question why I waste my time Pretendin' I could step in line with you You You You
