Timelapse
Years ago I was cursed with unwanted knowledge
Months ago I sentenced myself to agonizingly crawl through unknown ground
A week ago I was the unstoppable joke and center of laugh for those strangers on different minds
Yesterday I watched my sorrow painfully burn alive
Last night I found myself consigned to oblivion
Today my soul was forced to rise up just to realize nothing had changed
Tomorrow will be a repetition of my most replayed nightmares
In a week I'll be buried underground at dead of night and never seen again
In a month I'll be far bygone
In years I'll be completely out of sight
And you still dare to say that I'll be alright
