I'LL GIVE YOU A HEAD START THIS TIME
You mutter affirmation
Underneath a false breath
Knowing that this will repeat.
All the lying isn't defying
The fragile pulse that seeks defeat.
The ticking of the wristwatch-
The tocking of the wall clock-
Chase the seconds from their faces.
The dripping of the candle's wax-
The dropping of the faucet spout-
Blends the time with emptiness.
Objectivity in negativity
Telling a tale that I know by heart.
Repetition is the only admission
As you believe those whispered lies.
If only you could see the storm clouds
Forming there behing your eyes...
Underneath a false breath
Knowing that this will repeat.
All the lying isn't defying
The fragile pulse that seeks defeat.
The ticking of the wristwatch-
The tocking of the wall clock-
Chase the seconds from their faces.
The dripping of the candle's wax-
The dropping of the faucet spout-
Blends the time with emptiness.
Objectivity in negativity
Telling a tale that I know by heart.
Repetition is the only admission
As you believe those whispered lies.
If only you could see the storm clouds
Forming there behing your eyes...
