Something Borrowed

Tick-tock ya can’t rewind Time doesn’t stop or fall behind Clock hands cut like a sharpened knife Time doesn’t lose it runs your life Born with a cry blink then you're grown Chasing years you’ll never own Gold turns gray fast and sly Can’t outpace it don’t even try Heroes fall and empires bend Every story meets its end Watches shine but they betray Marking life that slips away No bribes deals or cheat codes work Time doesn’t flinch and it won’t shirk Kings and beggars rich or broke We all breathe time like secondhand smoke Tick-tock ya can’t rewind Time doesn’t stop or fall behind Clock hands cut like a sharpened knife Time doesn’t lose don’t let it steal your life
