Candler - Daylight Savings

Uh
The clock's ticking in reverse
The seconds counting down
Right from the present to my birth
Oh lord it takes me back
To everything that I've observed
Every rhyme and every word
Every line and every verse
I've ever heard
Through both the happiness and the hurt
To see it all again
Is this a blessing or a curse
The curbs still better than the dirt
The petals heavy on the hearse
Not dead but steadily at work
It smell like metal when it burns
Just hope my head will leave this earth
When it comes time
Man the futures a funny thing
It never was like, expected
4 leaf clovers don't exist
I've had enough signs
Man it never happens like you wish
I wish I was lying
They say it all happens in time
Well it ain't happened yet
I'm still waiting
Talking to The Man Who Played God
Asking if he'll still save him
That was 4 months ago
So much time passed I got ill patience
I can't take another second
Please tell me that I will make it
But it's been 7 days
And I'm still waiting on the weekend
I'm tryna find time
But I can't find the reasons
I been tryna make ends meet
But I can't find the meet's end
This congregation endless
Then I blink it's passed like seasons
Man I need to do some things
But they been seeming out of reach
And I've been fiending for some dreams
But all these nights they been so sleepless
Tryna find some peace of mind
But man my mind been all in pieces
As I lay awake at night
Writing rhymes to the rhythm of my heart beating
But the clock keeps ticking man
The metronome won't stop
And my wrists heavy man
Seem more like shackles than my own watch
Clocks hands like blades
Ear piercing ticks at a slow trot
And why does the alarm keep ringing
Even when I turn my phone off
Cause dreams never end
Man at least that's what he told me
Think how I bleed through my pen
My pages got the scars to show it
And I've been losing hours
Feels like daylight savings time
One day I hope that I can make it right
I'm just trying to draw the line in the sand
But the hourglass wouldn't let me
Every grain and every second
Passes by without hesitancy
It's filling up with quicksand
I'm stuck nobody to help me
Time don't slow down for no one
No the hourglass never empties
I feel I'm drowning in
Time until the glass flips right around again
Hear the bell sounding 12 times
Guess we made it right around again
Another day
Just another 24 hour spin
But nothing change
Other than the dates all on my calendar
It's swirling all together now
It's time for me to settle down
I been sweating in these restless hours
Read the clock up and down from 12 I'll count
Wait for it to stop at least for several hours
I wish I could press pause
Be able to let it out
They said time was my ally
But all it's done is take em from me
Clocks hands waving goodbye
To all the people that had loved me
I wish I had some more
Cause all I'm told is time is money
But that's the gluttony in me saying
Oh I would get it if I was lucky
But 4 leaf clovers ain't legitimate
Who hears all my wishes then
Who's the one that's listening
To all the wishes that I've said
Like I just want my friends again
I just wanna live again
But if I never see them again
I hope that they listen to this
I guess time will tell the resolution to it all
When this story seems so small
Long after I write this very song
Just know I miss you
I hope you're doing good on your own
I wish I was with you
But that's a different story told
Cause dreams never end
Man at least that's what he told me
Think how I bleed through my pen
My pages got the scars to show it
And I've been losing hours
Feels like daylight savings time
One day I hope that I can make it right
