Another hour of the ticking clock
It's only around one:thirty.
It feels like it's four.
I'm only another girl,
but I want to be something more.
The clock keeps ticking
but my brain stops working.
Everything slides to the left
then to the right.
Are they screaming?
Or are they singing?
Words fall from their mouth
and puddle on the floor.
Colors dance in the air
and sink in my skin.
I can't feel my face,
I can't feel my legs.
Everything's so heavy,
Everything's undone.
The world is spinning,
I think it's reversed.
Could someone please stop it?
I'd like to get down.
Things are going too fast,
There's too much going on.
You're not making sense,
No sense at all.
