The Clockwise Witness

It don't look right
In broad day light
It don't feel right
To me
If you win the rat race
If you come in first place
Then a rat is all you will be

How long will this take?
How long must I wait?
My heart is sinking
What were we thinking?
I can't fake this anymore

In this moment
Of atonement
Can you ever forgive me?
Is there something hovering?
It seems to be governing
Everything once dear to me
