Tick tock goes the clock.
Time fades and the deadbolts lock.
Tick tock, the caw of the crow.
Where he lives nobody knows.
Tick tock, the wind blows the trees.
We pass slowly by the lonesome swings. Life is a circle, we live and we die.
Life is the unknown.
Do you think we can fly?
Some live with no limits.
Some are scared to see light. Some are self- righteous.
And some are colder than night.
Tick tock, the dead feed off your life.
Tick tock, their teeth sinking in and as sharp as a knife.
Tick tock, everyone looks for a savior to rescue their soul. Tick tock, but the one you trust most devours you whole.
So when the pendulum swings and the night draws near.
When you lie in bed what is it you fear?
Another open page from one of my journals. One thing that you can rely on more then anything in your life is the fact that time...does...pass. Somebody had once told me "This to shall pass." It's something that I will never forget. In a way it gives you comfort, in a whole other way it brings fear. Thus "Tick tock goes the clock. Time fades and the deadbolts lock." Along with time and the changes of the seasons you can see differences in people. As cynical as this may seem I have noticed that it's easier for people to change for the worst more so then the better, though the reverse is possible.
Some people say that change never really happens. People always stay the same. I disagree.I've witnessed change among others. It can sometimes make you feel like an outsider. I want to keep myself the same and just better as I go. One thing that never ceases to truely amaze me is how opposite people can be though. "Some live with no limits. Some are scared to see light. Some are self righteous, and some are colder than night." I've run into individuals that believe they are invinsible. Nothing can touch them, and then there are those that are scared of everything, so they never leave there room. There are the ones who like to play the holy part, and then the few that have such a bitter coldness about them that you've never experienced before.
"The dead feed off your life." No, not the actual dead. I'm referring to the emotionally dead, spiritually dead, those who have no spark left in their eyes. Therefore so oyu will level down to them they try to take your spark from you. Run as fast as you can.
"The one you trust most devours you whole." It always happens that way doesn't it? Though there are those few times you come out in one piece. You trust somebody with every fiber of your being and they know it. So they see it as their chance to take advantage, because after all you believe in them right?
Everything about the above is fact based around human fear. Now here's the tough part, the match that starts the flame. All of it is true. After all who would choose a lie over one small strand of honesty anyway? With all of this being so you have to also choose to drown out the cynic that is in you, to keep the imagination of a child alive, the determination that fans the flame, and the hope that good still over powers and kills out all bad. If you believe any other way the fear will take over and suffocate you slowly.
One last question. "When you lie in bed what is it you fear?" Everyone has one.
