Analysis of A broken clock
A broken clock
Is all I need
Time stopped
Just for me
I would never notice
Would believe it was good luck
And time would keep spinning
Without me feeling stuck
Going by unnoticed
Every minute, every hour
Flowing on around me
Without me feeling sour
Time would be
Nothing but a concept to me
Maybe it could happen
Maybe I could flee
Maybe I could hide and find
Some peace within me.
