The Further

Where the future pours into the past by the pinch of now,

There is a ticking, where the seconds fade away.

The sand in the hourglass will one day pour out,

As if looking into a story

That was never mine to begin with

Will I ever be able to understand the weight on my shoulders?

A deathly silence from the other room,

Amplified by the stillness,

Where ghosts whose seconds tick away,

They tend to never leave

I was scared to see what I would be

If I looked in the mirror

But if the grip of time would just let me go

I will remember the person that I was meant to be

I watched the walls collapse

And let out all of their secretsi never wanted to let you down

But I felt my morals slipping

As I left myself at the door I never wanted to let you down

Disappointed at my hopes and expectations

Somehow I wanted more and now I stand

Waving back at defeat as I stare in the face of victory

I know who I was meant to be

I was scared to see what I would be

If I looked in the mirror

But if the grip of time would just let me go

I will remember the person that I was meant to be

Now that I can see it's a whole new world

It's hard to believe that its been here before

There is a ticking where the seconds fade away

Regret nothing because those broken walls only make you who you are

You can always rebuild, rebuild, rebuild

You can always rebuild, rebuild, rebuild

Rebuild those broken walls.
