slowly calculate
your missing seconds
as i reckon
you may have misreckoned

my feelings
are slowly healing again
perhaps they'd be content
if you stopped breaking them

a plastic piece of paper
enters
the palm of my hand
piercing my skin
in ways you wouldn't understand

am i allowed to look at you like this
what was i saying again
i looked away
and my brain
erased
what i was about to say

i guess you were right
when you said that i shouldn't be here
cause look at me
look at me
please look away

tired eyes
stop being so blue
and red
make up your mind

tired heart
stop being so heavy
and light
choose a side

tired life
stop going so slow
let me skip
to the good part

/'way too intelligent'
with her eyes stuck on the screen
your reflection
says more than you do/

cause i'm just so tired
from winding clocks
and still threat
knowing the time
