Nostalgic Loop

A line of coated figures walking away across pale ground into thick fog, each one fainter than the last, beneath a thin luminous ring hanging in the white sky.

This isn’t a wake up callIt came as a result of a last resortGot stuck in the time machineAs the lightning struckReminiscing the pastYet unable to access itCan’t make a future jumpDigging the hole deeperFinding the key to be whole

I phased throughOnly to ensure the disasterWent out to far beyondTo make sure none could be boundFor all were to come outAnd seek the man who alteredWith the course of natureInterfered with the universeAnd for the hurtful wagesA debt was paid

I thought it’ll be easierAfter a million years in stasisYet I arrived to a worldDeprived, division inscribedBeneath the roots of their heartsCountless wars revivedAnd with all the choices we makeDecisions contained

I built my time machine againAnd altered nature’s course anewThe crimes thine acts boughtThe price was worth the lessonKnowing there’s no other timeBetter than nowThe here, where none really makes senseBut the flow is paramountThe universe hovers around

Borrowed moments I knew I lovedI walked by without a clueThen you came out of the blueWhen you told me to let goKnow thyself and gain controlPaved the way to my inceptionThe light in your eyesBrought out the neon in mineThe star started to shineAll because you saved my life

The fire in my eyesYou dropped in my mindIn the middle of the nightAll you said was true

I thought of you at nightI could sense you slipping awayWe had a momentStolen from life itselfBut when the last grains ofSand turns over in the hourglassOur moment was lost

You said someoneWould come and replace meAll you said was trueOur dawn turned to duskThe time we spent turned to dustNow all you see in me is disgustOur love is lost

I had a planWritten in the sands of timeLocked in a boxDeep within a black holeHidden in the depth of my heartShe came from a storeWith endless purchaseAnd what I got, priceless

I clawed in and sunk deepinto your motionI dragged you through emotionsShe loved me couldn’t be unspokenand with a kiss the silence is broken

I opened my heartthen tossed my planA lifetime of perfectionTraded for a perfect imperfectionYou spoke the truthWithout you my glassesForever would be broken
