Time

 

Time, why do you punish me?

Taking me where I don't want to be?

I haven't lived enough yet.

Still, I'm seeing the sun set

Upon my life half done

Time, I've only just begun.

 

See, I did what I was supposed to for everyone else

Rarely was I able to make time for myself

But you sped up and took away from me

My chance to live life free

 

This morning I found a grey hair in my head, and my hands were all worn 

This is what I've come down to, since the day that I was born.

 

Time, why do you punish me and take me from where I am ?

Your speeding up even more

I can't take much more, damn.

 

I woke up with a weird notion, that today would be my last

Can I say my goodbyes, if I promise to make it fast?

Cause you've been pushing me all along

When I'm just trying to finish this song

 

Time why did you have to punish me and take away my breath?

 

But I guess I won't complain

I made it thru quite sane

I got what I got

Whether it was enough or not

 

Time, when next I come around, don't rush me to my next death.
