Timepiece

Feed me your heart and call it food for thought

Cause' I'm hungry for something more than lessons have taught

I always knew what I wanted, but not what I had

It's funny how clarity comes with the bad

So, scatter your seeds and grow as you please

Just beware of the winter that will turn you to weeds

Look inside with clockwork eyes

As children dance and sing (ba ba da da da da)

They push the hands just out of time

And laugh as minutes slip by

When hearts are old towers

It's an easy key for subtle thieves to steal away the light

Like fire, we tire out

So pray for time to break inside and let the truth reside

Speak in rhymes and dance like mimes

A circus act for those with dimes

The fools will leave their folly for the wise

So I hold my head so high

Collect my thoughts and walk this rope with fingers tied so tight

No, no, no, don't you know, we don't wear our scars for show

No, no, no, don't lose hope, it takes trials for us to grow
