Stop the Clock

The pendulum jumps back and forth
I wonder if it ever gets bored
Really such a regular sight
Once to the left, twice to the right

What if I clobber it, with a hammer 
Might stop the perpetual stammer
Slash it’s face, with a knife
Scar the second hand for life

Look at me, I’m never gonna stop
Oh you will, when my axe, takes a pop
Always moving, forever in time
Out of the blue, let’s off a chime

Go away! pick on someone else
That smokey candle, upon the shelf
Give me a scissor, I’ll snip its wick
Drink the hot wax, until I’m sick

They didn’t give me any pills today
Sometimes takes these voices away
Cannot control, demons in my head
Locked in an asylum, strapped to a bed
Tube down my throat, getting forced fed
Were not feeding you! oops enough said

Thanks Tom, sometimes all this nonsense makes more literary sense, than stuff people swallow on the multimedia platforms, Lear would be turning in his grave, cheers David
