Five o'clock screams a broken warning The comforts of carrion have come to rest And faced with faces that don't remember Old ghosts that come to collect their debts Back behind the worst recollections And swollen eyes rise to face the day At the worst it will never matter At the best it will never stay Five o'clock Five o'clock Five o'clock Five o'clock Five o'clock like a silent vendetta And every movement seems to plaque the thought Faced with faces that no one remember Faced with memories that are never lost I can't sleep what's the point in dreaming
When five o'clock comes to shatter my face What's gone before like a common symptom Another memory I can't erase Five o'clock Five o'clock Five o'clock Five o'clock Five o'clock like a knife in the back In every moment that I'm awake Or sleep where when I suffocate Another hour I mistake Time runs short my life runs by Run away from what I can't escape All behind me and my hate And my life at five Five o'clock Five o'clock Five o'clock Five o'clock Five o'clock Five o'clock
