Keeping Time

Everything I try to say
Turns to dust and blows away
It's stupid but I'll say it anyway

While I swim against the tide
Misery my gloating bride
Sickening sweet comfort tells me
At least I tried
Yea!

Buried is that book of rhymes
Deep within my mind
Can't cut the cord
I live between the lines

And I never compromise
So I bleed it through my eyes
Think they're taking me home
What a sick surprise
Yea!

And she watches from the sky
As I fade away and die
Unkept promises still brimming at her lips

I'll bet she smiles to herself
Keeps her secrets on a shelf
She's relieved at keeping time
With no one else
Hey!

Yeah~
Yeah~
Yea!
