The Frayed Lines of Time

Cold sand burns my skin
Slipping through my hands
Unconstrained, yet bound
Slave with ropes of mental source

My mind’s eroded, exposing a labyrinth in which I’m lost
No way out for the one who’s host
These walls look the same everywhere I turn
The longer I’m in, the deeper I go, the more I drift away

There’s no escape from the tricks of my foolish mind
I am Teseus without the thread of my loving Ariadne
The hourglass is emptying out
And most former paths are buried with grit
My freedom as prison of my objectives

Don’t stay still
Or life shall flow and kill you twice
The frayed lines of time
The scariest scars, they sear inside

The burden I bring, it thwarts me
On my way to deceive the universal conviction
Stuck in the maze of thoughts and dreams turned nightmares
I need to free my mind defeating the beast
I feel his presence, I hear his breath
I rise my sight
I’m horrified as I mirror myself
Don’t take the time to live in regrets
Because time is fleeting, like water
Just sail it and point at the shining horizon
I’ll be stronger than my strongest weakness
Try, succeed, fail: Live

Don’t stay still
This heat you feel will burn your soul
