The Clapperboard

from PØLP by Harsh Realms

lyrics

Somehow, someday
I’m getting caught in a death trap
To be left for garbage
And there’s no such thing as mercy left to get
It start’s off again

Or will I wait
Will I wait till something shimmers in the dark
And get a catch
Get a firm grip on the few uncommon sparks
‘Cause this will be my last chance to beat off attacks
And I stand transfixed on the ice while it
Cracks seem to separate all that looked gone
We lose all the things that we can’t get a hold of

There’s no such thing
As mercy left to get

I never heard the starting gun
While most competitors run
They almost fly
Though I’ll still be the first
To hear the bell of the final lap
I did neglect the clapperboard
And with the sounding of each chord
I’m pretty sure that the moment comes near
That the director cuts me off
