here's the broken hourglass sand slipping through fingers into open air here's the crooked clock ticking counterpoint to heartbeats thumping off-tempo here's the stopwatch, button jammed digits melting into each other a count-up to the end out of sync out of time out of control countdowns only last 'til you explode
