lying on this surface

of an old wall clock

now all i can hear is

tick..tock, tick..tock

my limbs stretch far

as the hands of time

strugglin' on a clock

like outdated rhyme

i long to turn it back

all moments gone by

but my mind clouds

like an overcast sky

my life measures in

spoons of sand grains

slowly falling down

an hourglass of rains

cannot i pause it all?

this passing of days

to dig out a moment

of a love like sunrays

it is escaping me all

tears colour my face

i'm stuck on a clock

with a bullet's pace!

oh, i try to run away

but i'm tied up hard

on this time machine

feeling like a retard!

all these numericals

are drivin' me crazy

i am so bad at maths

my vision is so hazy

oh how do i survive

this toll of time, dear

without a calculator

not in sight, not near

i keep lying through

the day and the night

though i see mornin'

but hardly any light!

i wish i could scratch

all digits in this place

to stop the time from

stealin' our last trace

and if i could, i would

burn my limbs to ash

to escape cursed time

that's an infected gash

come back, sweet love

pause time once again

help me hold eternity

for time only gifts pain
