Drawn out hours that never cease, The mental crypt allows no release. Passing moments as best we can Devising yet another ill-thought plan. Time stands still for those who wait, Unable to face their looming fate. Escaping restrictions of endless rules, And brushing shoulders with mindless fools. Forever lost in space and time. Those static seconds were divine Forever wishing we could rewind Is the affliction of our kind.
