The Clock Is Ticking

Ticks, tick I listen to the time go An hourglass I watch the sand flow Tick, tock I see the time upon the clock I feel lost, wandered out from the flock. My eyes view all that I’ve been through The journey always brings me back to you I can’t seem to focus and the time just flies Another day passes and something just dies. My heart feels passion, the clock keeps on spinning I cannot see if I am losing or winning I try to stand but can’t find my feet I see pieces of myself in the people I meet. My mind is racing to keep pace with time I try to gather all the pieces that are mine My life seems scattered across the floor I need to escape so I head out the door. The sun has returned and shines down on me Its’ rays warm my soul, its’ light I can see The world I once knew has all but disappeared When I closed my eyes this is what I feared. I walk down the street but it’s like I’m not there I feel like a ghost on a journey to nowhere I just wander around and the time still goes My heart feels confused but my mind knows. I try to find something to make some sense of it all But sometimes the descent is worse than the fall A cool breeze blows it seems summer is gone The leaves will be changing before too long. The time just keeps ticking another day ends The hands on the clock it is time they defend When I thought I had time it slipped away Time did not have time for me today…
