I got a clock in my chest

Dragging

Dragging

Every beat's a confession

Jagged

 

Lagging

You said

Time will heal the rest

But it's cracking in my ribs

 

I got a clock in my chest

And it never forgives

 

Dust on the unopened mail

You moved out

Left your key

I still talk into the darkness

Where your ear used to be

 

Lip print on a coffee lid

Staring from the kitchen bin

I rewind the smallest moments

Till the film starts burning in

 

I got a clock in my chest

Dragging

Dragging

Every beat's a confession

Jagged

 

Lagging

You said

Time will heal the rest

But it's cracking in my ribs

 

I got a clock in my chest

And it never forgives

 

Tick

In the space between my words shh

Tock

In the spaces where you were

Tick

If I hold my breath too long

 

Everything

Everything is gone
