this was quite literally inspired by a fanfiction

lyrics:

my heart beats to the metronome

time signatures that feel like home

rewind replay inside my head

clocks ticking as i lay in bed

time never slows, it's all the same

and i'm the only one to blame

for staying here, when i can hear

alarm clocks ringing in my ear

did it matter? will it matter?

if things get better or badder?

the futures comes so steadily

but i feel like i'm not ready

the clock chimes always the same time

and i know i'll always be fine

but somewhere deep inside my brain

it feels like i'm going insane

i breathe in time with the tempo

no matter how fast it may go

words that are chosen perfectly

my body moves rhythmically

music takes time, time makes music

it's so perfect it makes me sick

the clock matches the chords just right

it's 4:37 at night
