If Time Heals, You’ve Stopped the Clock

My severed roots and long lost leaves

Were blown away by the Irish breeze

The relentless cries of a half grown tree

You took my baseline away from me

Compose myself and remind me to breathe

'Cause you made me scared just to feel like me

I wish to return to who I think I would be

If only you built the walls to harbour both you and me

And you robbed me of all my aimless romance and hope

Where was mercy when I was flying high on my own

I had a kingdom around me, where I sat on my throne

But you took it away, to my last fragile bone

I had the weight on my shoulders, keeping everything afloat

And these memories remain in my faded black coat

Singing sweet lord have mercy, why does death come so slow

God just take me away, call it a day
