the proposition
handcuffed to the park bench
hypodermic people poking

fun at the living
please lift the weight out of this
it takes the weight out of living

are we just infants
that are ripe for the training
the opposition

can't feel the tentacle reach
suction cup the numb arms
of the elderly

please lift the weight out of this
it takes the weight out of living
let these walkers trip on

endless proof
pattern against user-dilated
!@$( waiting for nothing

circus carny guarding
the gates of heaven
pact stuck in limbo abduction

wormed our way through
distant earth


this intuition
limps with the cane of suspicion
folding space in the crease

of this page
it takes the weight out of this
it takes the weight out of -

trickling the ticking of this
grandfather clock
the opposition

can't feel the tentacle reach
suction cup the numb arms of
the elderly


chorus


and if this clock keeps
ticking away
will time be hesitated

of all the minutes that were
taken away
will your watch be waiting

sand falls through
time portals
these landfills - immortal

and if this clock keeps
beating down
let the branded time

keep playing
of all the minutes that
were taken away

will your watch be waiting
