Time and Time Again

The time passes slowly like sand falling through an hourglass The clock counting down in my head Tick Tick Tick Tick The countdown never ending The relentless hands still pass Passing the memories along with them For some strange reason I cannot forget All the times I was alone All the pain that I felt Why can’t I forget? My memory reminds me of the pain That comes back again with every ticking second So I mark my skin with all my sins Like all the passing hours I shouldn’t feel like this The jeers should be normal to me now But I can’t find myself Lost in the turning gears and shadows that grow with every move Tick Tick Tick I start to lose myself again In the void that surround me the forest is getting darker and the tug of the rose is just too much. The dreams grow stronger and I find myself falling again. Lost and alone again. Part of the darkness again And somehow I know I won’t be able to escape.
