Broken Clocks

Mourning the years lost to glacial patience
And youth left behind
You could set your watch by what I've wasted
And I keep perfect time

These hands are crooks, dancing ever aimless
Amid this pallid light
What you took for granted can remain nameless
Cause I keep perfect time

As our hearts cower in the static yeah
And failing hours of a life erratic
I meant to breathe
But my lungs were constricted
Reveries slipping deeper in fiction

We shot the sun
From the sky
And our glass had run
Before our eyes
Before our eyes

Don't tell me it's not hopeless now
All the blurred memories in focus now
You were warned but didn't listen
Reveries slipping deeper in fiction

As we're devoured in the static
And failing hours of a life erratic
I dreamt this disease
Was in remission
Reveries were never deeper in fiction

One foot in front of the next
It's only a nod to progress
Opaque hourglass
How can we know?
How can we know?
How can we know how much time is left?
How can we know?
How can we know?
How can we know?

Together
We're racing
To twilit fire
But how do I make it stop?
Forever
Awaiting
Our finest hour
But we're staring at broken clocks

But we're staring at broken clocks
As we're devoured in the static
But we're staring at broken clocks
Forever awaiting our finest hour
