well i did it again

left myself crying over almost nothing

staring up at the rain

the happiness of the day 

fading as i lose my way

sketching out ideas i will never use

letting it fall to shambles

but hey at least i got back  my muse

though im never sure if its the world

or if she's the herald

well time is time

and time goes tick

it goes out of line

and it goes tock

tick tock tick tock

im running out of time

well shit i lost my rhyme

this had a point

then i rambled

lost the idea

and let it go wild

thats right, the rain

i find it no coincidence that it rhymes with my name

nor my eternal pain

inside a body that always aches

the pain of countless matches

never quite fading

but hey i can still take a beating

and i may want to but im never leaving

not with a mind thats always traveling

hands that are always fiddling

a mouth thats always speaking

and eyes that arent healing

tick-tock goes the clock

and counts down upon on my life

telling me im running out of time

but its not like its a straight line

just for once id like to relax

but i do that too much they say

but can i help it its just my way

and sure someday ill pay

but not today

today i can still play

oh wait no i cant

cus im dragging myself through a gutter

tick tock goes the clock

reminding me i can still walk

and while i can walk and i can talk

im still free

but not eternally

someday it ends

tick tock goes the clock

swinging faster now

you dont want to know how

but how would the weakling know

tick tock goes the clock

tick

tock
