I'm trapped in this moment
There's a rock in my chest
I need you to stop this breathing
Stop this heaving
Stop this feeling
I can take no more
The paradox will crush me
I'm crying out
Oh, help me now
I need your words
I need a spirit      
There's something inside    
It must crawl out                    
Take me away, from all of the pain

A grandfather clock
Guardian of my dreams
Imagine that.
Chimes to awaken me
Ticking over until dawn
Returning me to lucid memories
But I am conscious
Of this enchanting metronome
Clicking over
Ticking over
Am I asleep?

Cut a knife against the sky and it all falls down
climb the tallest tree at some point you gotta climb down
Stay awake all night some time your gonna pass out
and as it all falls down that's when we rise up
for when we fall we learn the bottom wasn't that far down at all

Silenced
And reprimanded
For every word
I say.
How many times was it today?
I guess
I won't
Speak
Again.
