Sands of Time
December 10, 2015
By pouring their derision upon anything we did
And exposing every weakness
I got a strong urge to fly
Does anyone else in here feel the way I do?
Wrong! Do it again!
There must be some mistake
I didn’t mean to let them take my soul
I feel like I’m drowning
I can’t show my weakness
I feel like I can’t breathe
Things are not what they seem
A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile
No more than alive
No one has a real friend
I wear its darkness with an empty smile
You don’t even hear when I think aloud
This bleeding heart’s not bleeding much, and I make promises I cannot keep
Reality fades like shadows into the night
Love turns like the skin of a dying man
We pretend it’s alright
Grown colder
I feel cold as a razor blade
Dry as a funeral drum
Don’t look so frightened
It’s just one of my bad days
Do you want to contemplate the silent freeway?
Would you like to learn to fly?
Would you like to see me try?
Why are you running away?
How could you go when you know I need you?
How can you treat me this way?
Is something eluding you, sunshine?
Is it not what you expected to see?
Wanna find out what is behind these cold eyes?
Tear-stained eyes
Empty smile
Guilty past
Nerves in tatters keep your dirty feelings inside
Staying home to watch the rain
Shorter of breath
One day closer to death
Hanging cold and tired
Tolling of the iron bell
Dwindling smiles
Bury the light
Don’t give in
Without a fight
Waiting for someone to call out
Open your heart
For you could not break free
Always doing what you’re told
Don’t tell me there’s no hope at all
This is not who I am
Is it just a waste of time?
All of your nightmares come true
She’s dangerous
Break my heart
The flames are all gone, but the pain lingers on
I’m leaving you today
There’s nothing you can say to make me change my mind.
