Alarm Clock Screams - Desa

Somewhere between birth and here the ground gave way

Suddenly I was submerged

While cogs, gears, and pistons rumbled in the distance, a dead kid sank

His time torn to shreds by alarm clock screams with dollar signs instead of eyes

Forced to rise and shine before the sun

Redundance cuts slow

Sets my impatience loose

Stretches my seconds like hanged children from a charred tree

Is this the new me?

My free time was never free

I can see that now

Now that it’s a scarlike memory that warns me

The cold world adorns me

A decoration for some suit’s crown

From the podiums a sedative is sprayed on you

Intentionally smelling of new car

The infected drones march eyeless to work

Paying for the ride over and over with time 'till we die
