Time

Tic tic tic toc it’s all I seem to hear
A reminder of what once was
Constantly in my ear

Hands of time seem to be spinning faster than they should
I search for a way to slow them down
Or rewind them if I could

Tic tic there it goes again echoing in my head
I’m standing before u
I appear alive but inside I am dead

Tic toc the timer begins a race which nobody ever wins
Run n run to an endless path
Constantly trying to fight the time from the second it begins

The hands keep spinning round and round faster than u can see
Attempting to stop them
But it’s a trap from which u will never break free

And the older I get, the slower I run but the hands just keep going faster and faster. ... a race which nobody ever wins ... Danielle, you have captured the naked truth with this string of triplets. Very nice!
