Chrono-Logic
CHRONO-LOGIC
In this age I am
And lost in time
So I find myself inclined
To sleep with the clock
Ticking another tock
Bottom-of-the-hour-hand
We are the age we’re from
The clock is a time machine
That takes us far away
From when we want to be
To where we are aging
I feel its hands all over me
Wrinkles of disgrace
Want to tie its fickle hands
And punch it in the face
Battle. Blink. Ablaze
Seconds, minutes, hours, days
Lost and week within the maze
Fighting the darkening haze
One candle with two fires
You wet your eyes and it’s burnt away
The ending never came
The sun rose again
it wasn’t the same
but looked like an old friend
lost track of time
from a skyline view
walking the line
with batteries new
time is just something man invented to pass the time.
