Chasing Time

I've watched in silence, without seeing

As a stranger within me grew

Detached and distanced from the day

While youth's precious years flewChasing time through the empty skies

Of endless hours, living for the futureVisions of brighter days to come

Kept the shadows from my sight

Made the present bearable

And obscured the fading lightChasing time through the cold void

Of solitary days, living for the futureToday is within my reach

And tomorrow is so illusive

But I'm still chasing time

Through increasing disillusionForever living for the future of an illusion
