Time goes by as my eyes scan the world highlighted outside
I stay in one place as it all passes so slightly
Memories the only moving thing in my mind
Ever so faint as they fade retroactively into the light
Cant these things cease to move?
Giving me time to catch up on all that is lost
Years I had my eyes closed to
And fears that consumed for far too long?
When will I ever have the time to get it all back?!
So many tears wasted, on so many people long gone
Why did they ever say it would last forever?
A contract beginning with a handshake and then a bullet in my head
A fatal blow I have survived far too many times
Cant these things cease to move?
Giving me time to catch up on all that is lost
Years I had my eyes open
And insecurities that consumed the whole of me?
When will I ever have the time to get it all back?!
The road keeps passing my eyes
As I sit still idly, not moving away
Then it hits me, as I take my final breath
The paradox that eludes all lost souls
The clock stops ticking and tocking
And I know now, it all means nothing
