Pain beyond pain
no one can relate
everything's a reminder
can't clean the slate
no love can be greater
no love can replace
the one thats forever
the one thats of grace
all so against me
all are so wrong
MY TRUTH WILL BE REALIZED ONE DAY
this is my song
screaming in a tunnel
telepathy enhanced
so close yet so far
is it just a trance
I imagine feelings I hear a cry
maybe just my own
i just want to .........

The clock that kills
time could take splendor in the grass and turn it to weeds
why can't this feeling last forever comes
and now its gone
it could take ecstacy of making love and destroy it
what will happen next or why didn't it happen sooner
The clock that kills
it could take an explosion of colors in the setting sun and remind you how it will soon be gone
taking it all away as the colors are still exploding
The clock that kills
All goods didn't come soon enough and all bads should have never come
the best is not the best
greatness is not greatness
love is not love because we created
The clock that kills
Just an illusion actually
just a brain made thing to find something not right with us again
you were late-you were early-it takes too long--it was definitely too short
Tic tock tic tock--whats next, whats next,whats next,whats next,whats next
The clock that kills
everything in my life is great
but, oh yea, don't forget, it should have happened sooner
The Clock that kills
The best words ever spoken,not fast enough
not soon enough
ticking intolerance spoke over them
why didn't they say that before
Every great feeling wiped out with one sentence
why didn't that happen before?
or even better--why did it come now when i'm not ready for it?
Can we ever get back the way life was before we created the Clock that kills

Words, lost in the circle of them
Meaning, and ultimately nothing
Comparing it all away
Numbers making everything nothing
Perfection, in only that filled with imperfection
Elevate, only to knock down
Comparing it up and comparing it down
The greatest comparison where we all truly reside
The timeless, the nameless, the infinite, Love

— The End —
