by the clock

|camaratta|

things fall apart, that's what we've been told what can we expect when there's nothing to hold onto? a poisoned society that brings you to your knees, watching the world of hypocrites taking what it needs, so it's day in, day out, random thoughts drowning my head day in, day out, it's just the same routine again the wheels of retrospect keep spinning you around, day in, day out another part comes falling down

give me a second for a minute of your time or whatever you can spare i'll drive you out of your mind my thoughts my heart, my heart your soul, what thoughts do you think you're allowed to control? day in, day out, making sense out of nonsense, day in, day out, whipping out our innocence, the wheels of retrospect keep spinning me around day in, day out, another part comes crashing down

who's saying that we asked for it when asking means we end up like this? we think our life is over when we're told our life is over, told it over and over again

and it's impending that confusion's never ending but it's our choice, our sanity that we're defending. why debate, we deplore, why make bombs, why make war? why make hate? what's it all for? why should we listen anymore? the wheels of retrospect are grinding to a halt day in, day out, still i wonder what went wrong
