Redo In Real Time

In this global ghost town
I'm a frowzy frowning clown
Who wants to love you
Before the world crumbles down
But I'm never around

I can't meet the end
When we're not even friends
I haven't made ends meet
All I do is pretend
Suspect and suspend

I can't have this finish before it begins
I can't lose it all before I even win
I want to loudly love life
Take it out for a spin
With a glint and a grin

I don't want to die before I'm really born
Don't want to conceive only to abort
I want to belt out the notes
Before the tape cuts short
And start to smile for sport

So why can't I speak
And why are my knees weak
When this is their last chance
To stand tall and climb peaks
Stride and change my streak

To let myself live
As I've so much to give
If I didn't hold my breath till I'm blue
Just so I wouldn't hiccup
