Lyrics I made to emphasize with the '340' poem I made

3:40

For miss Flores

This is…my life

Another moment in the dark

340…displays

Another tick on that clock

Tell me really if I walked away

Tell me really what could you say

Except ‘this is it’

 

Never meant to make you cry, don’t you look at me with those eyes girl

I didn’t want, this pain

This knife, this blade

My heart beats your name

Every beat I can hear it scream

No wonder, this hurt is killing me

I can never reverse what I did and that’s what hurts so bad

Her cries, those tears

That frown, those eyes

But if I could have any wish, I wish you were here

Don’t stop, don’t trip

I will not quit

 

This is, my life

One line, one pint

340….displays

Another tick goes away

Tell me if you walked away

Really what the hell could I say

Except “I cannot quit girl”

 

Disarray

This cant be today

Im depressed anyway

Its 340 anyways

Slowly I begin to suffocate

I begin to isolate

Just make it go away

Just make it go away

 

I cannot forget your face in every single thing that I do

recreate, Ill paint

These hands, I’ll brush

And I understand that I could never come close to replacing you girl

But just let me, pretend to live again

Is this…my life?

gun laying on my side

340…that clock

it ticks, my time

really if we walked away

tell me what we could of said

except ‘this is it’

 

I know I was a bad man,

Oh I know I was bad man girl

Couldn’t stop, wouldn’t stop

Even though you sat and watched

Thinking ‘there he goes again’

Goddamn ‘there that b*****d goes again’

And I watch as you spread your wings

 

Is there anything left to say?

Would you rather have it either way?

All I have are these memories

Silence is my only true company

But I promise you, I can change

Am I waiting on you, or are you waiting on me?

 

This is, my life

I swear, Im fine

340…displays

This is, my time

Really if you walked away

I know what I want to say

I will wait for you, until the end of time
