Running Out

Written September 14, 2011 Is this how I should feel at times like these Facing crossroads, not ease RC running miles on plastic tires And then batteries run dry Here I lie on a bed of signal fires Why didn't you stop before the sign Frozen in time like the watch you didn't wind I'm bound by thoughts that bind Am I the dusty classic Getting shelved in the highest bin Am I the friend whose forgotten time Time and again Is this the way a boy feels When he's personified again Is this the way I should feel Full of regret and gin Here I lie on a bed of signal fires Why didn't you stop before the sign? Frozen in time like the watch you didn't wind I'm bound by enemies that bind The days they run on and on They seem to have no end I guess that's how it goes When you're nervous and frozen Maybe I should have fought the bout Cause now its as if time is running out Is this how time is meant to run So sharp and so high strung Here I lie on a bed of signal fires Why didn't you stop before the sign Stop before the sign The sign the sign the sign
