Long Life...but yet So Short

I hate you...you move so quick
you limit my life...you make me sick
keep building walls, brick by brick
we're all your victims, you don't have to pick
*************
You control our lives, you put the rules
life is your performance stage, you've got the tools
attached with strings, we're your puppets and fools
you make schedules, meetings, and the base for schools
*************
Go ahead ! Keep passing by
generations went I wonder why?!!
keep stealing our days, years, let them fly
give us birth dates, and watch us die...
*************
I hate you, you move round and round
your ticking makes the saddest sound
and moves faster than any heart's pound
there's your little black secret that I found
you last forever while we rot underground
*************
Yesterday we were all living nice and slow
until you came and made seconds flow
"do it quick" you ordered "ready, set, go"
you cover up with memories, ambitions from head to toe
but inside of you the secret remains to blow
you are the demon that makes us grow
*************
I wished someday I could make you stop
I tried to kill you but you didn't drop
you seem to go faster when we're on top
your material is expensive, and isn't sold at any shop
*************
Losing time is a crime that can't be made up with a dime
eternity and life with you...they can't rhyme
*************
Immortality is a door you severely lock
immortality is a door we hopefully knock
but we're blind, it can't be bought, it's not a stock
I hate you, you viscous demon, you clock...
