Time is Not My Friend

Take me down to where the world ends, down past the river bend.
I'm a fool, this town doesn't need me to cry, it only needs me to try.
My lonely heart can't light the way, for all those that follow without a say.
Everyone speak up, shout while you can, soon no one will understand.

I am not the image you should turn to, I'm a lie just like you.
Surely you know I'm a fraud, simply a false god.

Never pray to me, I can't save you, I can't even save me.
Open your mouth and scream, doesn't it hurt when you kill your dream?
Take a tic tac before the tic tock stops to toll.

Make me a believer if you can, I'm not one to take a stand.
You are a fool if you think you can try, all I need is you to cry.

Forget me, forget you, we're all schizophrenic too.
Right now I'm bowing down, all I see is kowtow.
I am a pain and regret, I wish this existence you could forget.
Even when you suffocate, don't stab down the feeling 'hate'.
Never give in, it's not in your cards, send death your regards.
Don't fall, that's all I ask, maybe one day, in glory, you'll bask.

-but probably not
