Time Perception

Image by Time Love Memory

They say time heals all wounds

and time is tickin' away

but in my fu*ked up mind

its just one endless day.

The days turn into nights

but I just don't seem to move

its like I am stepin'

to my own weird groove.

In my mind if I think really hard

last week and month I might recall

but its only short images I see and

I can't make sense of it all.

If it were a fantasy

I would make it all feel good

but instead its like a nightmare

in my own little neighborhood.

Now I know there's been good times

my heart remembers those

but they seem damn distant

reachin' for them on tiptoes.

Time perception is strange sometimes

when you want time to last

it goes by so suddenly

and quickly becomes your past.

Yet when you are in a dark place

its one long endless night

and you are awake to feel it all

and you struggle with all your might.

Now I may not recall yesterday

but I have hope for tomorrow

and whatever it takes to get there

from time I will beg, steal, cheat and borrow.
