Shadows of Time

Lost in the shadows, where the silence screams,

Stuck in a moment, caught up in my dreams.

Every day’s a mirror, but I can’t see my face,

Skipping out on learning, just to hide in this space.

Clouds rolling in with a ghostly haze,

Living for the night, sleeping through my days.

But the clock keeps ticking, and the world won’t wait,

In this endless loop, I’m stuck in my fate.

Feeling like a ghost in a crowded room,

Can’t make it out, it feels like I"m doomed.

Time’s running, but I’m standing still,

Chasing vapor trails, numb from the thrill.

Blowing dreams with every exhale,

Lost in this spiral, will I ever prevail?

Hiding in the smoke, I feel the weight ignite,

Wishing for a spark to chase away the night.

Voices in my head, they whisper soft and low,

But when the dawn breaks, will the shadows go?

Each step a regret, every moment’s a cage,

Skipping through the pages of a life in a haze.

People pass me by, they don’t see my fight,

Living in the dark, reaching for the light.

But the clock keeps ticking, nothing stays the same,

Darkness loves company, but I"m tired of this game.

Heart racing fast while my mind’s moving slow,

Search for the way out, but I don’t even know.

Time’s running, but I’m standing still,

Chasing vapor trails, numb from the thrill.

Blowing dreams with every exhale,

Lost in this spiral, will I ever prevail?

So many tomorrows that I wasted today,

Searching for a path, trying to find my way.

In the depth of night, I’ll howl at the moon,

Time may be running, but I’ll find my tune.
