Life Expires

This life is what is before me and I can't tell what will become
Watching and waiting for this, caught again by reality
I wish the hands on the clock would freeze
If they turn turning life from me
But you don't see
A better question sounds like the weight of the world
As the stories of a wasted life remain unheard
This time
This time is for living
This place is so unforgiving
Striving for inner peace
Trapped out by false belief
Don't wait for the hour to hit
The pain is so hard you forget
We're not reading the same page
Your life on the shelf
In a world full of regret
This time
This time is for living
This place is so unforgiving
Striving for inner peace
Trapped out by false belief
This time is for living
This place is so unforgiving
Striving for inner peace
Trapped out, overwhelmed by grief
They say sleep is the cousin of death
Should I sleep with one eye open waiting for my last breath?
This time is for living
This place is so unforgiving
Striving for inner peace
Trapped out by overwhelming grief
