the clock is unforgiving

“breaking down and breaking ground, bucking up, riding the crowd, reaching for the crown, something dark trying to be let out, but I serve the light now, nobody ever did the same as me thanks to different dreams, nobody knows how I do it, making art and making music and expressing myself, but I’ll tell you the secret, living life with no regrets, the way I spend my time holed up in my room, wishing for something better to do, so I make my way, and transmute my pain, into something from which I can gain, and maybe someday somebody can relate, instead of waiting for a later date, because time is ticking and the clock is unforgiving,

the clock is unforgiving, so you better be living, making the most of the time you’re given, find out what is and isn’t fitting, and go out there and get to living,

I lay awake at night and contemplate this very plight, calculating exactly how much time I have between now and when it’s over, knowing that every passing second I get a little closer, but no one really understands, how it’s all in your hands to make the most of it, to shape and mold it, each day is clay and you’re the sculptor, got to ignore all the vultures, and vulgar opinions that keep you stuck in your head, when it comes to yourself, make the bet, make the bed, and when you get your chance, live life like it’s all you’re gonna get

the clock is unforgiving, so you better be living, making the most of the time you’re given, find out what is and isn’t fitting, and go out there and get to living,

the clock is unforgiving, so you better be living, making the most of the time you’re given, find out what is and isn’t fitting, and go out there and get to living…”

This is one of my favorite tunes I’ve written. Ai made the artwork (a clip from a little music video visualizer) and it made the voice and music. I am an artist who thinks it’s great that we have Ai to make our dreams a reality.

The lyrics are 100% original. That’s what matters most to me. I just save time with representation of my writing.

This song was written from a place where I felt like time was creeping up on me, but in actuality, I have my whole life ahead of me. I often think about how other people may experience this feeling of running out of time to follow our dreams. The key is to stop worrying, and just go out there and get to living.
