Thief & the Hourglass

I couldn’t sever your sadistic ways
I wanted to burn the things that I can’t change
If I could empty my brain
I’d never come back
As I rot in this cage
Like fresh mold wrapped in its discourse
Where everything said is being monitored
By the sadistic cold machine
Every breath incites that the flames burn bright
And death invites me every day
It came back around like clockwork
Translucent in its descent
I could see that all is one
And that hate was different
I could lean over and stare into my soul
It was deep like a well
And in the darkness, I heard a voice
It was telling me to leave
Every breath incites that the flames burn bright
And death invites me every day
I tell myself that I won’t forget you
As if never letting go would keep you around
After the way you looked in my eyes
And what you whispered in my ears
Even if it takes me my whole life
I will find you in the end
I will cross the great beyond, turn back time
We can live our lives again
As I rot in this cage
I can’t run. I just wait
I made my escape
The voice caught up to me
It led me to my demons
It brought me to my knees
As I rot in this cage
I can’t run. I just wait
As I rot in this cage
I can’t run. I just wait
The truth burns bright
I will return
