are you telling me it's over disintegrating lost and there's nothing I can do 
before you drop another verbal bomb, can I arm myself 
with Cezanne's 16 shades of blue 

as my heart is slowly ripping into pieces 
disconnecting from the circuits of my mind 
"you'll get over it" you say "in time" 
in time? 
if the clocks are black absorbing everything but 
a remembering how we made it that 
clocks are black 

you say "get over it if 50 is the new black, hooray this could be your lucky day" 
but my cables they are surging almost over loading as you disengage 

could your heart be slowly ripping into pieces 
disconnecting from the circuits of your mind 
"we'll get over it" you say "in time" 
in time? 
if the clocks are black absorbing everything but 
a remembering how we made it that 
clocks are black 

"that's it you're done. 
You've screwed up your life" 
before you've begun 
there are those who say 
I am now too old to play 

see over there at 33 she fears she'll lose her job 
because they hear the ticking of her clock 
at only 15 I said 15, they say her future's bleak 
she should have started this at 3 

as her heart is slowly ripping into pieces 
disconnecting from the circuits of her mind 
"she'll get over it" you say "in time" 
in time? stop Father Time 
if the clocks are black absorbing everything but 
a remembering how we made it that 
how our clocks are black 

before you drop another verbal bomb 
can I arm myself 
with Cezanne's 16 shades of blue
