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
