Clock necklace

My heart is a golden ghost

that lies in the river at the city limits

yearning for the rays of the night

and the light of the moon to illuminate my sorrows

 

My mind is a diamond sailboat

sailing through the waters of the coldest dessert

searching for the key at the ocean floor

to kick start the motor of the ticking time bomb

 

these legs of mine have got eyes of blindmen

oblivious to these shackels of mine

running through the halls of the endless labyrinth

when I get to the end it will all be fine
