Funny how life works

Rife with sunny days

Stormy days

Lurking nights

And the weeks they pile on

Life is funny that way

~~

But I live one minute

Too far ahead

There are golden seconds

Preserved inside my head

Trapped in a cloak of

Immobolized time

When will the present

Ever be mine

~~

I'm stuck in the future tense

Tense and waiting

Hope debating

Where is my life

I'm living everyone else's time

There's nothing compensating

For my wasting soul

~~

And if I had a past

They'd be living it now

But my mind is stuck on

Forward bound

And my soul would have passed

Going round

Still my fate is sealed

My destiny unrevealed

~~

Hands bound with golden chains

Soul bound with empty pain

There's no rest in the current of time

But the current time

Can never be mine

~~

Ghosts move blindly through the weeks

They don't know it's what I seek

To be here and now

Is what I'm

Living in the future for

Eternity bowing my head

To the yet to be lived

~~

So free me brother

Take your knife

Cut loose my past and

I'll be free

To live life

The way it's meant to be...
