Daylight fades but I remain
Stars come out but still the same
Clock keeps ticking never slow
Years pass by nowhere to go
Hands get tired heart grows weak
Old dreams vanish hope seems bleak
Mirror shows a face I know
Ghost of past what now to show
Time slips by like sand through glass
Youthful fires in shadows cast
Questions linger fear and doubt
Screaming silent crying out
Wishing for a spark to light
Lost in thought on sleepless night
Whispered prayers to empty skies
Search for meaning tired eyes
Memories like broken chains
Hold me tight in silent pain
Once a dreamer wild and free
Now just whispers lost at sea
Time slips by like sand through glass
Youthful fires in shadows cast
Questions linger fear and doubt
Screaming silent crying out
