broken time


Theres a crack in the clock, a crack in time 

Crack in my heart and cracks in my mind 

Take me back to when it all started 

So I can stop being broken hearted. 

 

Suspended in air, almost floating 

But continously falling all the while 

Moments are seen in reverse 

As my memories just compile. 

 

Rising up, yet never landing 

Morning comes to cushion the fall 

In the evening, as I lay waiting 

The sun hides, for night will cover all. 

 

Now comes a fear with falling 

Steeped even within a dream 

See the ground rapidly arising 

So too with my silent scream. 

 

Heartbeat keeps on knocking 

long after I wake 

Do these dreams foreshadow 

Falls that I must take? 

 

If I'd really known before what I needed most of all 

I should've stayed where my heart was with my soul 

Got nothing right now, just a blurred reflection 

Of the broken time, trapped in suspension.
