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
