Strike twelve
Your hands tick in beat, for me
But in reality
Their running away
Passing hours in days
Year by Year, wearing out
Precision minds, these seconds grind
And still we count
down down down down
To what we used to see
Switch on this light
A flash of memory
Blinds me
Staring into your face
Escaping from dreams
I don’t want to remember
Now it’s half past nine
And were melting into time
Feel calm? Shocked by the alarm
Telling us to sleep, a speed for need
Flying through space, I got the key
To wind this back up
To the normality
Of
What we used to see
Switch on this light
A flash of memory
Blinds me
And what do we care?
What do we care?
Don’t get attached
Don’t get attached because we don’t care
And when it hits eight
It’s never, not later
Twelve chimes again
A full circle passes this end
As twelve chimed
That’s when we realize
That we’re just lost in
We’re just lost in
We’re just lost in…
