Tick tock

One year goes by, tick-tock the tale
One year goes by, my skin grows pale

They say time has a way of healing all wounds
But my mind sees time for what it ruins

Grow green, grow tall- the truth I water
Grow fast, the sap- I seed to sunder

I wave goodbye to an old friend on the lake
His boat has a hole, his last birthday cake

Away, away- a word so abused
The truth left me naked, naked I’m used

Ha ha, laughter- did that come from me
Is sight so blind it cannot see

One year goes by, tick tock the tale
One year goes by, my skin grows pale
