A Moment in Time

The clock was ticking
It never seemed to stop
My life was racing
And then I heard the knock

The clock still kept on ticking
I knew it would never stop
My life still kept on racing
That day I heard the knock

I turned my music louder
I stretched my smile wider
I turned my eyes to many things
But not to that plain knock

And then just as the knock began

But now I know it must be gone

oh smother up and gorge
upon the foods so rich and
money save and pour upon

can cry alone its teardrops hide
it doesn't care, it doesn't hear
the noise to be made louder
and more things to be boughten
while the lights are fading
night is falling
end is getting near

a love that does remain,
in constant, even though ...

I like writing, what can I say? It's not like I can just sit down anytime and do it, though. It's a mood thing. Somedays it comes and somedays it goes. I also like art (more on the modern side) and writing my own songs.
