Now

The lights slowly faded

Time doesn't stop

Nothing like being persuaded

I just can't watch the clock

Everything measured and weighed

Sinking faster than my norm

Patched a cracked soul with a Band-Aid

Thoughts from outside the box

Secrets always pervade

Shining through like the sun

My second thoughts Cascade

I can't remember where I came from

moments left to evade

What's important to me now

Repeating Insanity

You can watch it all burn
Strike your match
You'll never have to return
Travel so many miles away
What did you learn
Where does your mind take you
What do you see beyond that next turn
Is it always all or nothing
The past holds on to your disconcern
I'm watching the story over and over
The cycle to never adjourn

Keep running

As far as I can see left or right
Continuing this path with spite
So much better than any story I could write
Connect my signal to your satellite
Put this fate in your hands tonight
Way past the idea of being polite
Freshly written too many words to recite
Plain and easy just like black and white
You'll shake your head while the memories ignite
Burn that bridge let's rewrite
I see us now it's fight or flight

Her

What does it all mean
She doesn't really know
It's just where her mind went
When she wound it up and let it go
This could be the beginning of the end or the in between
The answers out there lingering
Time will neither move nor stop
A life she clearly wasn't picturing
See her reaction in the mirror
Forget what you were told
Flashing lights a dream like fog
Careful now let the truth unfold
