Every second, every hour, every year
I stand inside this box and watch the clock
The bittersweet sound thumping
To the thyme of a reoccurring dream
Tick…I met you all of our eyes were in pain
Tock…You walked in the door, I saw your eyes close in shame
Tick…As they opened, a new you shown through
Tock…but behind all the mascara you still couldn’t hide
Tick…the lines were always drawn the same
Tock…but the pencil just never seemed to cross
Tick…But I could never ask you to be with me
Tock…You would have to give more then you’d ever know
Tick…And you know I could never be a Superman
Tock…We both know hell and all its sins
Tick…Ah, but one night in one life to one dream
Tock…to share and to cherish the you within me
Tick…So simple and so obvious, how did we never see
Tock…That time was fading for us and our dream
Tick…Now I suffer in waiting it’s tearing me thin
Tock…Gone over and over and over descend
Tick…Though I can kiss you and love you and write a new score
Tock…My hands are now waving I can’t ever redeem
So now I say goodnight to all these dreams…Tick
You seemed so right before, something true to a dream…Tock
Though the symbol has failed and burned to the ground…Tick
I know the ashes can be collected and bring the spiral back around…Tock
