The Clock
I stare at a clock
Its hands are not moving
Its heart is not beating
Time stands still
No thrill, no breathing
No mind, no feeling
As I sit here and think
How I am different
Or not
Maybe we're all just clocks
We wish time would stop
No fails, no glory
No tears, no fears
Never grow old
As clocks we ask of you
To fix us once in a while
Refill our batteries
Those are our enemies
So time does not stop
So we all hurt
So will time
So will they
Its hands are not moving
Its heart is not beating
Time stands still
No thrill, no breathing
No mind, no feeling
As I sit here and think
How I am different
Or not
Maybe we're all just clocks
We wish time would stop
No fails, no glory
No tears, no fears
Never grow old
As clocks we ask of you
To fix us once in a while
Refill our batteries
Those are our enemies
So time does not stop
So we all hurt
So will time
So will they
