I try to find the
words to say
but I fall short
with a word or two
You seem
distracted
Your affected
I'm rejected
by this heart
that continues to burn
Flames seem to rise
Until I'm burned out
The clock keeps ticking
Until it goes away
No more batteries
So it dies today
I can't afford to
Buy another one
So it ends
I keep burning
Someone put me out
before its too late
My soul will die
The gift of life
seems wasted
My heart still beats
Cause I'm still alive
Roll it up and
smoke this burning heart
Give the earth a cloud
so it can rain
The clock keeps ticking
Until it goes away
No more batteries
So it dies today
I can't afford to
Buy another one
So it ends
