I sit motionless and watch the clock In the dark corner of the room The seconds hand continuously spins round And the minute hand won’t move One minute just won’t turn into two I don’t know what to do My mind wanders aimlessly The look as though I’m in a daze Is worn upon my face Time keeps on moving for you But for me it’s broken…I’m stuck But that’s just my luck What could I have done to be here? What did I miss that is so near? This clock has stopped for something What am I not seeing that’s there? The window above the clock Shows no promise, the light never changes So there’s not really a chance of me knowing What time of day it really is… Not thinking to check that the Battery might be dead my mind Reacts a little as this all floats in my head The battery has sum type of life, The seconds hand still spins but The minute hand won’t start so This hour can’t end… My minutes are not wasting away Because it’s in this minute that I stay I count down 60 seconds And this minute hand still won’t move 60…59…58… I’m starting to look For something to do 57…56…55… I pinch myself to see If I’m still alive I’m fully awake but it seems Like a nightmare I’m standing right here and the Answer is right there, needing to get From point a to point c, but I’m lost to find b My mind has gone blank My thoughts have now left me No longer able to fully think I might need a shrink To tell me this is all an illusion I need sum type of conclusion What the hell is up with time and my mind? There’s something that I’m missing Something that doesn’t belong in this picture I hope I catch some glimpse of an ending Because this cycle is vicious.
