Two steps ahead and one step back,
I'm growing up, but I don't want that,
Losing my voice, rusty limbs,
Make too much noise in the stillness.
And peaceful words don't mean that much,
As long as you give enough,
And power to the best of us,
They'll find a place for the rest of us.
A broken mind is an hourglass,
Simply waiting for time to pass,
Somewhere in between the cracks,
And well it appears I'm lost in this city.
Tender wounds will not heal,
No matter how well they are concealed,
By rubber bands and plastic spoons,
A take out cup, no need for room,
I have enough, I am content,
To live my days and make my rent,
To watch my mind slowly melt,
Into a stain on the cement.
A broken mind is an hourglass,
Simply waiting for time to pass,
Somewhere in between the cracks,
And well it appears I'm lost in this city.
Waste of a smile, waste of a breath,
Giving into ignorance,
And power lines will all fall down,
When lightning strikes and hits the ground,
Illuminates the world around.
A broken mind is an hourglass,
Simply waiting for time to pass,
Somewhere in between the cracks,
And well it appears I'm lost in this city.
