The Future

Late nights awake in bed
Thoughts just spin in my head
Wishing the past was here
Future never felt so near

Dark clouds and troubled skies
Silent tears and whispered lies
In this maze of time I'm lost
Paying all my happiness as cost

I wish I could change the future to the past
Find a way to make this sorrow never last
Rewrite the pages
Turn the hourglass
Live a life where my smile wasn't a mask

Moments fade like shadows do
Chasing dreams we thought were true
Eyes closed I see the place
Where joy’s not just a fleeting trace

Future's cold and paths unclear
Haunted by these ghosts of fear
If I could flip the hands
Go back when
My soul would feel alive again

I wish I could change the future to the past
Find a way to make this sorrow never last
Rewrite the pages
Turn the hourglass
Live a life where my smile wasn't a mask
