Time is my opponent.
It's the greatest villain that resides in this life
Things to do, none
Escaping this fate is greater than none
Time lets me explore the wounds in this flesh
Every ticking moment I explore the pain within
The most dangerous thing it does is keep on going
Things to give comfort, none
Binding the layers of life to a steadily dying grandfather clock
Eventually the mouse can no longer run
Can't go up or down
Sitting ideally by to watch the hands freeze in motion
Things to find, some
Someone to wind this clock
The clock can save you by letting you know to keep going on.
