The ticking grows louder in my chest Every second feels like a theft Grains of sand slip through my hands A ruthless thief I can't withstand The Sun sets faster than it rose Futures fade as the silence grows I reach for moments I can't reclaim This empty void burns with my shame Reflections crack, they mock my youth The mirror whispers: This is truth Time is slipping, fading, breaking Leaves me hollow, endlessly aching Tides keep rising, stars are dying I'm a shadow lost, forever crying The ticking fades, the silence reigns A fragile heart forever stained But as the clocks fade into black I swear I’ll rise And fight it back Reflections crack, they mock my youth The mirror whispers: This is truth Time is slipping, fading, breaking Leaves me hollow, endlessly aching Tides keep rising, stars are dying I'm a shadow lost, forever crying Screaming, clawing at the skies Burning questions, hollow whys Can I bend or stop the flow? Or am I destined to let go? Time is slipping, fading, breaking Leaves me hollow, endlessly aching Tides keep rising, stars are dying I'm a shadow lost, forever crying The ticking fades, the silence reigns A fragile heart forever stained But as the clocks fade into black I swear I’ll rise And fight it back
