Where the future pours into the past by the pinch of now,
There is a ticking, where the seconds fade away.
The sand in the hourglass will one day pour out,
As if looking into a story
That was never mine to begin with
Will I ever be able to understand the weight on my shoulders?
A deathly silence from the other room,
Amplified by the stillness,
Where ghosts whose seconds tick away,
They tend to never leave
I was scared to see what I would be
If I looked in the mirror
But if the grip of time would just let me go
I will remember the person that I was meant to be
I watched the walls collapse
And let out all of their secretsi never wanted to let you down
But I felt my morals slipping
As I left myself at the door I never wanted to let you down
Disappointed at my hopes and expectations
Somehow I wanted more and now I stand
Waving back at defeat as I stare in the face of victory
I know who I was meant to be
I was scared to see what I would be
If I looked in the mirror
But if the grip of time would just let me go
I will remember the person that I was meant to be
Now that I can see it's a whole new world
It's hard to believe that its been here before
There is a ticking where the seconds fade away
Regret nothing because those broken walls only make you who you are
You can always rebuild, rebuild, rebuild
You can always rebuild, rebuild, rebuild
Rebuild those broken walls.
