Tempus Fugit

I see the lights dimming and dials spinning

The clock bells chime

Now the hour is 13

We cannot tell time

Time told me don't take long

I told time to wait

Time said never for no man

And there's no time to waste

Now I'm on that clock grinding

What you thought I stopped shining?

While you fall off and evaporate

Like water drops drying

Stop lying, your pots crying

The tiny violins, I told you once

If I told your ass time and time again

The time to win is now

Even if the pendulum snaps

And I can't spin it round

I started so I will finish

Proud, clock's ticking

Tripping, I'm looking at my watch different

Lost minutes missing, drifting in and out of consciousness

Y'all hear the tick tock, the seconds are shaved off

I reckon they hate us for stepping our game up

The message is keep enemies close, cut the grass low

Tip a cup of swill, I feel like such an asshole

But the scene seems so jaded

My team finally made it

We just graduated in a class fascinated

My cap and gown glow, gamma rays hit the paper

We buck 'em down slow

Strange fans keep the yapers

I write on a level not quite like the Devil

We rock, rolling stone and y'all just some pebbles

I travel slow and step into the next stage
