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
