The Glow

You think that the clock says something about you
The numbers and lines just soften the glow
I used to get lost in this fictional mirror
Now I realize I'm not what it shows

You're wasting the day 'til it turns into evening
You're turning your mind to the things that you bought
And when you remember something that happened
That's when you realize the past is only a thought

You'd probably die to hear your mother sing
So terrified of what the future brings

And when you decide to finally listen
The silence it sounds like a river in Spring
When you dig up that invincible diamond
Try to find the resolve not to make a ring

You'd probably die to hear your mother sing
So terrified of what the future brings
You'd give a finger to shake your daddy's hand
You'd kick a child to be a better man
