• I write from the shadows
    Thinking of my friend
    Wondering
    Only one source of light
    Wondering if he's reading the messages I send
    I turn my back on family
    Searching for something new
    Gazing at the world
    Turning my back on it
    As I think of what it's come to
    Knowing nothing can save me
    Never having enough
    Of what you call life
    Then I realized what you need
    For every life there is love
    My mind goes blank
    As the world slips by
    Time never stopping
    Rewinding, pausing
    Even when I try
    Knowing death is the only mercy
    The only mercy I ever knew
    Yet, there wasn't any
    Thinking why
    Late past my curfew
    I hear the clock ticking
    But I never see the hands
    Numbers mocking me
    Tracing the outlines,
    Of the timeless strands
