thongrider Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 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?
