It’s time to remove this watch from my wrist,
Get a raw-toothed saw to get the minute-hand to cease and desist,
If the seconds come a-knocking to arrest me, I’ll resist,
If the agony of timelessness persists, I’ll reminisce
On the past that was never that or this
But was always like a bittersweet goodbye kiss.
And if I think about long ago
I will know that that was all there was,
When I was young, look what I’ve become,
I wonder now where I belong,
I’ll push it away, I’ll push really hard,
Is the memory gone? (The memory’s never gone)
Sever ties with the lines of eternity
I never thought this world was inherently flawed
Until I met Bonnie and became her Clyde,
We ran away and we never looked back
But in the night I saw the stars weren’t shining bright,
The blackness overtook my eyes,
Where am I today, tonight?
And if I think about long ago
I will know that that was all there was,
When I was young, look what I’ve become,
I wonder now where I belong,
I’ll push it away, I’ll push really hard,
Is the memory gone? (The memory’s never gone)
The words all echo in my mind,
The thoughts embed inside my head,
I am a creature turned unkind,
Sometimes I wish that I were dead.
Echolocation, I feel a sense of deprivation,
Overcome by deprecation, I can’t survive this blatant
Deception of my recollection, I’m losing my own direction,
Overcome by an infection, a cardiac insurrection,
My heart’s got no protection, I’m weak without suggestions
As to how to prove that my intentions are worth what I’m preventing,
I have nothing left to show I’m not demented (this could have been prevented).
And if I think about long ago

I’ll push it away, I’ll push really hard,
Is the memory gone? (The memory’s never gone)
These words all echo off the walls,
They slip in through desperate ears,
No one hears because no one cares,
No one stops but everyone stares,
What is left for me to say?
I’ve said it all and people heard
But they can’t replicate my words.
