spare me a minute


when there no longer was
anything else
to ask for
i asked for time

[to pull my knees up to my chest
hands to my face]

"time is an illusion"
you shouted
and i wondered who the hell you where
an what made you tick

[and how little time, a pair of tarnished knees
and broken hands could save me]

your ticking star broke then
revealed the dust of being dirt
that made my eyes itch

i was offered salvation
and bandages
when all i needed
was a little time

well then pass the salvation and bandages my way, and keep the time (personally i find passing the time to be agony anyhow)... :)
