Change Like Fog

Please time, stop passing me by

Please time, I do not want to see loved ones die

Cannot help but focus on what brings me the most pain

Cannot help to think thoughts that turn logic into the insane

Please Adam, give yourself a break

Please Adam, your whole life is at stake

The pages have turned as my past has burned

A new chapter has begun but this eclipse still suffocates my sun

Change like fog surrounds

But happiness in this rusty mess is never found

And when I think I will not suffer anymore

I’m thrown again to the wolves, blood stained and worn

Hoping for a fresh start, something bright and new

But even as the pages burn away what is now written is still so blue

Please time, stop repeating your words

Please time, stop making reality so absurd

Cannot help but think I am doomed

Cannot help but fill my head full of gloom

Please Adam, do not do this to yourself once more

Please Adam, you bruise yourself over and over and what for?

Ever since a young boy, playing outside with toys

Staring up at the sky, and never being able to stop wondering why

Since a young boy, peering into thoughts pouring out of the abyss

Tears flow out of sadness and worry; this world is amiss

Ever since a young boy

Peering into the abyss

Staring up at the sky

Knowing this exsistence is amiss
