Broken Breath of Time

Wishing we could turn back the clock …

… breathe in, breathe in, breathe in …

Tick tock goes the clock as time incessantly ticks away

At times it crawls, then it seems to race and sway

Moments slide by, the past eclipsed by the present

Leaving us with a lingering sense of regret,

Time so transient

In a stolen future

Cry of tomorrow

Translucent absorption in motion

The broken breath of time, seconds that slowly pass

Wishing we could turn back the clock, mend everything that's cast

The sky fades to dim, darkness begins to illuminate

Caught up in life's labyrinth, we question time and fate

Memories, like sand, slowly slipping through our fingers

We hold on tight, but time's grip also lingers

Broken dreams, wishes unfulfilled, clocks ticking fast

A missed opportunity, time's cruel fate finally cast

Time so transient

In a stolen future

Cry of tomorrow

Translucent absorption in motion

repeat {Tick tock ... of regret,}

repeat {Caught up ... finally cast}

The broken breath of time - moments that fade away

The broken breath of time - no regrets to swallow up

The broken breath of time - breathe in and never give up
