The Frayed Lines of Time - Lahmia

Cold sand burns my skin

Slipping through my hands

Unconstrained, yet bound

Slave with ropes of mental source

My mind’s eroded, exposing a labyrinth in which I’m lost

No way out for the one who’s host

These walls look the same everywhere I turn

The longer I’m in, the deeper I go, the more I drift away

There’s no escape from the tricks of my foolish mind

I am Teseus without the thread of my loving Ariadne

The hourglass is emptying out

And most former paths are buried with grit

My freedom as prison of my objectives

Don’t stay still

Or life shall flow and kill you twice

The frayed lines of time

The scariest scars, they sear inside

The burden I bring, it thwarts me

On my way to deceive the universal conviction

Stuck in the maze of thoughts and dreams turned nightmares

I need to free my mind defeating the beast

I feel his presence, I hear his breath

I rise my sight

I’m horrified as I mirror myself

Don’t take the time to live in regrets

Because time is fleeting, like water

Just sail it and point at the shining horizon

I’ll be stronger than my strongest weakness

Try, succeed, fail: Live

Don’t stay still

This heat you feel will burn your soul
