Father Time

28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, 12 seconds.

That is when the world will end

Absolution, denial

Each rickety crackle of a single second

Echoing into that sticky red cement flowing from the heart

Time is a’ticking

Do you hear that tilted pop

That alarm of existence

14 days, 3 hours, 21 minutes, 6 seconds.

That is when the world will end

She shaved off her ears with the paddle

That was meant to row her to safety

The sound is still there

Time is a’ticking

Her trail of blood

Makes her easier to find

7 days, 1 hours, 10 minutes, 3 seconds.

That is when the world will end

Father time plucks at her strings

But she fails to make a sound

Cuckoo, cuckoo

Time is a’ticking

But there is nothing

Only silence.
