Clockwork

I've slowed down
My focus tracing a lifeline
There's no sound
Am I drifting?

So what happens now?
I'm losing strength at the waistline
I feel the void, but I still don't know what I'm missing
I'm back again
Sometimes I fear I'll never leave
If hope is being able to breathe underwater
Then take it in, because sinking is torture

Oh clarity
I was so blissful and unaware
You're so much like the dawn, in your salvation
That you don't stay with me
So I'm left chasing

Keep breathing
You'll find that sigh of relief
Let it out
It won't last that long
Suffering is human
Your outcome evolves
