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.
