Fall and Fail

Verse 1

I've stared at the watch for hours
Feeling just as anxious everytime it reached twelve
I saw the big hand move with strength and power
But I couldn't keep my little hand to myself
You set fire to my hour glass
Tried to control the time instead of letting it pass
Then I inhale the scent of burning sand
As I observe that little hand

Verse 2

I've sat around watching the seasons
Only experienced a starlit night once
Did the right thing for all the wrong reasons
and did wrongs for all the right ones
And when summer turns to fall
it gets harder to keep track of it all
I found out what the little note in my treasure meant
You forget your traditional cakewalk measurements

Verse 3

I tried to find my way back from Nowhere
Like a warrior, but still so weak
Like a character in described my Homer
badly translated from ancient Greek
And as I'm coming back home
To my toothbrush and my comb
I pretend to be my own therapist
with a checkered pattern and an ironic twist

Verse 4

I distance myself from my own views
I don't mean to justify the end
The recent events are no longer news
they're just old stories repeated all over again
My once fragile skin has hardened
I'm facing my trial until I get pardoned
I'm a secured jail, but I take no prisoners
I fall and I fail, but where are my listeners?
