Turn Back the Clock

The center of my core
was breaking and I know it scared you
I cannot understand
I slapped away your hands as I do

I say now
Turn back the clock
But it won’t stop spinning round
I built a bullet to fire
But it burned every building down

I said my daily dose
Drank coffee and would choke out novels
And though I thought I knew
The steps that people do and follow

Turn back the clock
But it won’t stop spinning round
I built a bullet to fire
But it burned every building down

I said please
Turn Back the Clock
It’ll all be different now
I hid in hollowed out stars
And the dust kept raining down

I would give advice
But the world stopped asking
the world stopped asking
Don’t say too much
‘cause the world starts balking
the world starts talking
you’re just left watching

I picked up all my notes
and ate them like the folks would tell me
The work that you adore
Is haunting all my drawers and laundry

I say now
Turn back the clock
But it won’t stop spinning round
I built a bullet to fire
But it burned every building down

Turn Back the Clock
It’ll all be different now
I hid in hollowed out stars
And the dust kept raining down
