Out of Control

One day, two days, three days, Breathe; One minute, two minutes, got three? Maybe; Even if I forever walk this world alone four minutes, five minutes Damn it! I will be stone; One second, two more seconds, Tasting eternity; I will walk by and ignore the symmetry; One time, two times as many as it takes; Until I get through eight hours with no shakes; One dance, two feet, ignore the flushed cheeks; It’s just the sound of my heartbeat. One week, two weeks as many moments as it takes; Until my emotion’s control I completely break.
