Like a potted plant
too big for its home,
I’ll take what I’m given,
but I won’t make any growth.
I am perfectly still
hurdling through time,
wilted on the sill
waiting for these bells to chime.
You should know better
with all that you’ve seen
no one ever thinks that
it’ll happen to me
Tried to stop the train,
but it wasn’t enough.
so I wrote all these songs,
but it wasn’t enough.
Scowling in my deathbed
because it wasn’t ever enough.
My growing neuroses,
my dwindling friends,
I can’t see the future,
but I know how it ends:
Days rushing by you
like leaves in the fall,
and while the world’s fading to black,
you couldn’t make time to call?
I should know better
who I’d turn into
no one ever thinks that
it’ll happen to you.
Held your frail hands,
but it wasn’t enough,
may as well stop the sun,
but it wasn’t enough.
Scowling at me in my dreams
because it wasn’t ever enough.
