Vancity Vice
Time (revisited)

I remember when you were everything

When you were every absolute reason

You shot me for a loop, elastic to a sling

Oh the trials and tribulations time brings

Oh the silly things, we used to do

Used to embrace the whole world

Seems i’ve been played the fool

Isn’t it funny

How you think you learnt the first time

When really

You gotta deal with the worst times

Look at my clock and it’s time we part

Multiplies like a math test

Times were just as hard

Time and time again

I fall back on rhyme

I blame the height on the climb

Didn’t see the signs, so much to chase

Gotta stop looking

Maybe then i’d find

What i’m looking for

Cause it seems like same shit different day

Change in me seen, but not to my dismay

I waited, broke my mold

Stopped fallin back on prospects not approved

De-ja vu’s, blocked those views

Reminiscent minds, i just can’t do

Never bout what im running from

But what im running to

(And im running too)

My new mindset assigned

My heart devoted, not too easy to decline

My code, don’t ever ever cross that line

Busted balls for a girl

Not even worth it

My mistake a glance turned to a flirt

Furthermore a hurting, for sure then

A wall has been built

I sit waiting watching from the guard tower

Raybans, a smoke, and my face is sour

Stopwatch swinging from my arm

Used to stop on that hour

This king’s castle’s lights out

Waiting for a new queen

Hopes aiming for her to turn on, the power.
