Altered Time
Time dances by and changes transpire
So many possessions to desire
Gaze into the future and who do you perceive
Only shadows of who you used to be
An illusion of emergent life
Who are you now?
Who am I now?
A creation of altered time.
Situations carve the soul
Darkness within tries to control
Gaze into the reflection of the premature past
Once innocent, naïve, so eager to believe
A closer glance reveals a glare
A slight sense of despair
Who are you now?
Who am I now?
A creation of altered time.
My senses turn to pure blindness
Why don't I know the way I feel?
When I gaze I do not see
I do not see who you used to be
Your misty eyes do not faze me now
Your whole persona isn't real
What was once oh so bright turns to the darkness of night
Who are you now?
Who am I now?
A creation of altered time.
I once loved you with all my heart
Only for you to tear it apart
I can't believe I did not see
I did not see who you would be
One without feeling, one without care
Now with someone other my heart I will share
Don't try to come back, oh don't you dare
What I have now is so rare
A torch burns within my soul
I have reached the ultimate goal
Who are you now?
Who am I now?
We are a creation of altered time.
