All the clocks are broken
Still time cannot be stilled
It leaves its marks upon him
It leaves his bones chilled

Marking moments
Marking days
Marking all of his solace
In these semi-permanent ways

All the clocks are broken
He smashed them as he went
His violence has spoken
While silently he wept

All this time is running
Running round inside his head
It keeps up a constant ticking
That soon will drive him mad

All the clocks are broken
Cast aside into a heap
He defied the clocks and their makers
And the time that they would keep

They keep track of every promise
They watch each mistake
They mark down every hour
They only judge they only take

All the clocks are broken
Still time cannot be stilled
It leaves its marks upon him
As time it often will

Well said! You're so right....you can try but can't stop time. I like the vein of frustration that runs through this. Thanks
