Bells

Like a potted plant
Too big for its home
I'll take what I'm given
But I won't make any growth

I am perfectly still
Hurdling through time
Wilted on the sill
Waiting for these bells to chime

You should know better
With all that you've seen
No one ever thinks that
It'll happen to me

Tried to stop the train
But it wasn't enough
So I wrote all these songs
But it wasn't enough
Scowling in my deathbed
Because it wasn't ever enough

My growing neuroses
My dwindling friends
I can't see the future
But I know how it ends

Days rushing by you
Like leaves in the fall
And while the world's fading to black
You couldn't make time to call?

I should know better
Who I'd turn into
No one ever thinks that
It'll happen to you

Held your frail hands
But it wasn't enough
May as well stop the sun
But it wasn't enough
Scowling at me in my dreams
Because it wasn't ever enough
