Jumping loud, I wail out
Glancing time is, ticking down
Surely, surely, staring back at me
8-oclock has waved goodbye to leave
Face gone pale, I wail out
Glad that everything simmers down
Pink I think, the flowers blooming free
Beat, the heat, enduring through the peace
But surely there’s a bud that struggles yet to bloom, it’s
Bound together and barely breaking
Oh what a fool, a tragedy
Ahh, let me freeze into a fossil
Ahh, like the little flower pot I’ll
Smile, there in the darkest days
It’s all I ever managed anyway
I’ll never banish all the loneliness
If it’s discovered, what’ll happen to this?
Ahh, I’m here, your neighbor waiting for you!
My heart, it beats up anew
Hey when, I tumble asleep
And I wake up to the beat
I can never retrieve
A cause to leave
Or to get up and be
What morning me will need
Is there a peace
Left for me?
Jumping loud, I wail out
Glancing time is, ticking down
Backing up I turn away to leave
“See you then…” I mumble in the heat
Clarity had found me
First, beating joy or pretty feelings
Reminiscing, sun way out of reach
Passing by, these days adrift at sea, it’s
Horribly hard, just managing
Ahh, soon you’ll see the truth of the act
Ahh, God I hope to stay in tact I’ll
Smile, faking again this time
All that I love will always leave my side
I wish for a future so clear and bright
While feeling ever more I’m being eaten alive
And now, I cry but couldn’t manage to scream
My heart refuses to beat
Ahh, surely there’s a sky prismatic
Ahh, alive and shining a pretty light
I had never wanted just to run away
Surely, these things all each belong in place
Right, nothing more is left to do
My heart, it beats up anew
So, it seems, the days are closing in around me
And the flowers bud that slowly withered
So putrid, it’s a filthy repulsive thing
Innocent, sweet
Ahh, let me turn into a curse just
Ahh, “Stop it and erase the burden” I cry
Cause beating around my head
Noise and the static sound is all that’s left
I’ll never banish all the loneliness
If it’s discovered, what’ll happen to this?
Ahh, the girl, it seems was right as could be
I’ll never see it…
Ahh, I’ll find a way to keep on going
Ahh, pain is never stopping or slowing
Even when it’s all wasted breath
Such is the penance for your loveliness
You may be the kindest that I’ve ever known
If I cry and hug you, I may never let go
The final scene was surely that kind of dream
My heart escapes in the breeze
Glancing time is, ticking down
Surely, surely, staring back at me
8-oclock has waved goodbye to leave
