I need time, please let me be
let me stay here, be content
waves will pass by me
but the ocean will stay
while the foam slowly breaks away.

I need time, please let me rest
let me remain silent, be pensive
posters come and go
but the wall is always there
while the wallpaper degrassively tears.

I need time, just let me sit
let me stay here, safe and sound
the minute and second hands could break
the numbers my fade
but time could be told with just the Shade.
