Seconds ticking by
My pencil beats the time
Lost in my own mind
Somehow I'm left behind

I count the horus in my head
One more close to being dead
I'll never forget when you said
There's seven clocks beside my bed

I walk to the end of the dock
My mind is still picturing the broken clock
And from my shoe I take a rock
Time is stopped and bolted with a lock

The rock sinks down into the sea
Only thing moving save for me
It hits the bottom and time is free
Back to the way things used to be

Days months and years go quickly by
After a while I stop to try
To stop the time so I could fly
Back in time so you wouldn't cry.
