Tick

Endless carousel Spinning slowly as we decay. Trapped inside its spell All along this timeless highway of Guidance uncontrolled. Unsure where the map is pointing. Tangled dreams unfold At the place where the lines are joining. Time is slipping through my fingers, can't deny it. Hide it and I cannot revive it. Nothing that I try has stopped falling. Sinking down the line, destiny's calling. Who do I appease to escape judgment day? I'm on a short lease and slowing up halfway. Or did I just obey? My life is in Disarray. Something's pulling me down. That's what I didn't see this day. Just like fire, time is melting your life. Day after day, erasing what's still unfound. Time never hides, it drives inside of your strife. What's ticking now? No longer echoes of sound. Near the journey's end, Nothing's left and nothing is right. And those who pretend Nothing changes easily might fall In their masquerade. Where the children turn the page on this Only last crusade. While the ship sinks in raging. The voice of memories tell me to regret it. Admit that it's better off forget it. But all the faces burned into my mind. All the places I can't leave behind. Leave like a stain that I can never make Clean. A viral strain at a level unseen. But yet still it exists. It's just part of the machine that I hear As if it is staring back at the screen. Just like fire, time is melting your life. Day after day, erasing what's still unfound. Time never hides, it drives inside of your strife. What's ticking now? No longer echoes of sound. This place so uncertain. The end is near. Rising up from the inside. Our burning sun Has Come.
