this all decays

This all decays.
Watching strings float off
Of your arms, and your
Eyelids freeze and flake.

This cotton frays.
Buttons loose and fall
Off your chest, and exposed
Your rhythm breaks.

How can I
postpone or pause?
How can I
prevent this fall?

Please watch the
Autumn sweeping in,
it's pouring dust around
Time is speeding up,
the clock is breaking down
These jaws will eat you;
the smallest hole they'll fit through

Keep the bitter cold away,
and spin the world around
Show your skin today,
press your warmth to the ground
The clock is breaking down;
this all decays.
