Purple lightbulb
Bathe in glowing, incense burning
Reaching out for who I am deep inside
Crossleg sitting, meditating
Feel a burn, now
Searing memories of you and what could have been
They all go down, one by one,
I see my friends fall one by one
And there's a clock
It's ticking for us now
It's ticking, without a sound.
But my clock's invincible.
Put in motion
Millions marching without vision
They go 'round their day-by-day occurrences
I stand, blinking, drinking, thinking,
Sinking quickly.
I mingingly try to make some pleasant talk.
I've looked back along this path and
Seen you turn to smoke before my eyes
are haunted, I'm undaunted.
You know it's just my principle:
That I'm so invincible.
Daylight dawning
City crawling
Blink to bounce back
I'll just smirk and roam along this concrete sea.
As I walk, I see the clock tower every time I
Turn to get a fleeting glance back at my home.
They all go down, now I see,
My friends they fall down, all but me.
And all the clocks sit silent now but mine.
Don't you know that my clock's fine?
