Beep

(Beep, Beep)

Incessant beeping day and night, keeping pace with my heart beating.  My Eyes I try to shut but can't seem to keep my mind from sleeping. 

(Beep, beep) 

People come and go but friends no longer show. 

(Beep, Beep) 

Its the ebb and flow of where I am and how long I've been breathing.  Some friends didn't have as many breaths as I. 

(Beep, Beep) 

Some find them harder to take than mine.  Some cant find the means or time to see if my breathing is keeping pace with my mind. 

(Beep, Beep) 

Trapped inside a place where gold is disguised as time and diamonds are made from love filled smiles and hide inside my loved ones eyes. 

(Beep, Beep) 

Hoping they know the gold they give is worth more than a two hundred trillion dimes.  I'm past the point of speaking but if I could speak just one more time. 

(Beep, Beep) 

I'd tell them to watch for chameleons

(Beep, Beep) 

because chameleons lie 

(Beep, Beep)

and when you're at where Im at, 

(Beep, Beep)

in this place and time, 

(Beep, Beep)

the only thing that matters 

(Beep, Beep) 

is seeing all the diamonds…… 

(Beep, Beep)

in your loved ones 

(Beep, Beep) 

eyes. 

(Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep)
