Kill the Clock
Putting on the pressure To treasure my remaining youth There’s so much I could catch If I could start facing you And nothing lasts forever But I refuse to face the truth There’s nothing I can catch If I don’t start facing you But then I work into a frenzy, Another one of many And ignore the calling That is calling me to heed This is for the thinker, The one who always lingers Listen to the calling That is calling you to heed
Watch as I kill the clock
I’ve been resting on my laurel — yeah, not even plural Sour grapes; bitten off more than I can gnaw on But I’m not gonna stop ‘til I stop walling off, Calling all self-saboteurs for All in all, a group meeting to call us off, All I want’s a new feeling to call upon To top it off my ego’s drifted Towards imposterism, I feel I’ve grifted Anybody who said “he’s so gifted!” Apologies… I’ll never live a hero myth, kids I mean, how can I return with elixirs If I could never leave home to begin with? dimwit; Stuck in his mischief, this love is so twisted hustled to live in it yet I covet the distance And I don’t want to suffer the critics, It’s none of their business dream of holding the Golden trophies feeling hopeful but Won’t overcome this achievemephobia Deep in neurosis just sleeping in comas stuck Sneaking a peak but leaving when the going’s tough Old enough to know it’s dumb All the charm in the ‘woe is me‘ self-loathing’s wrung My delusion is losing strength And I knew that I threw the game
But then I work into a frenzy Another one of many Can’t ignore the calling that is calling me to heed This is for the thinker, the one who always lingers Don’t ignore the calling that is calling you to heed
Watch as I kill the clock ’Cause if I never take the leap, I’ll never fall so even if the shot is within reach, I hold the ball i just sit beside myself and Watch as I kill the clock
Destiny is stalking but I’m standing inside The shadows where I hide away And still I am crawling, still a baby inside, afraid and disguised, I’m ashamed Destiny is knocking but I’m standing inside The shadows where I hide away And still I am crawling, still a baby inside, is it too late to try?
If I never play, I can never lose -- If I never fight, I won’t ever bruise If I guard my heart, it won’t ever bleed -- If I blind my eyes, I won’t have to see If I shield my ears, I won’t have to hear -- If I numb my mind, I won’t feel the fear If I never live, I can never die -- If I never live, I can never die.
