Translation
Bilingual
I've been caught up in my mind
And time slips away
And I've been fine letting it die
Now I find
It's a waste to let it waste
It seems that time's meant to be killed
And I will devour all
The little seconds
Now that passed
I'll make them last
I'll bleed them dry
And use them up
And I won't give a fuck
If I should fail
If I should fall
Bleeding out
I'll give it all
I'll nail myself into the wall
The clock is laughing
And I'm gasping, grasping
Can't relax
The time has come to
Be undone
To beat back death
Is so much fun
The clock's run out
ย
So here I lie awake
Combing through
The hours that pass
The notes I scrapped
And looking for my last mistake
Neurotic to the bone
These thoughts are not my own
I'm going crazy
Fuck it all
And I'll erase
And start again
Searching for my voice
But all the noise
Corrupts my mind
It's just so hard for me
To find the perfect words
The melody that works
No one would even know
No one would notice
But I owe this to myself
To make it perfect
I am going crazy
Won't settle
For being lazy
And I'm not writing
This for you
I don't have shit
To prove to you
And all I want to do
Is take this time
To do this right
The first time
So I write
Until I'm blue
And maybe you can hear it too
The shit that keeps me up 'til two
Makes me question why
I waste my time
Pretending I can step in line with you
You
You
You
