I lock the front door, let the metal click The clock is making that annoying tick Somebody moved out in the afternoon I didn't bother coming from my room The television playing on a mute A couple insects on the rotting fruit The engine idling in the driveway grass I watch a couple dozen minutes pass The earth keeps spinning like a centrifuge I'm stepping over yesterday's excuse It doesn't stop for anyone at all I watch the paint peel off the bedroom wall It doesn't stop for anyone at all I listen to the heavy footsteps fall It doesn't stop for anyone at all I hear the neighbor pacing down the hall It doesn't stop for anyone at all I let the voicemail take the final call The calendar is flipping by itself The plastic trophies sitting on the shelf There is a spider building by the sink I watch the faucet drip and take a drink A motorcycle revving in the street The pavement cracking underneath the heat Nobody pauses when the credits play Tomorrow is exactly like today The earth keeps spinning like a centrifuge I'm stepping over yesterday's excuse It doesn't stop for anyone at all I watch the paint peel off the bedroom wall It doesn't stop for anyone at all I listen to the heavy footsteps fall It doesn't stop for anyone at all I hear the neighbor pacing down the hall It doesn't stop for anyone at all I let the voicemail take the final call The bus keeps driving down the avenue The grass keeps growing out of something new It doesn't matter what we try to hold The coffee on the counter just gets cold The earth keeps spinning like a centrifuge I'm stepping over yesterday's excuse It doesn't stop for anyone at all I watch the paint peel off the bedroom wall It doesn't stop for anyone at all I listen to the heavy footsteps fall It doesn't stop for anyone at all I hear the neighbor pacing down the hall It doesn't stop for anyone at all I let the voicemail take the final call
