The Tide of Time

The tide of time has come

And swept away my dreams

Tragedy has struck

Not everything is what it seems



Wishes, hopes, ambitions

Float away from me

And I watch them flee

As I lay adrift in the endless sea



The sea's a violent grey

The heaven's the same to match

Life's become so empty

And still I cry

"Leave me be!"



The clouds above me tremble

While the waves beneath me heave

And my little raft of life,

Patched together hastily

Is washed away

And I long to be free



Free of all the worry

Free of all the greed

Free of all the sadness

That surrounds me



Life uncontrolled

Passes by crazily

And I am stuck here

Where ever here may be



My mind has grown numb

My thoughts far off track

As I float away

Never to come back



Back to when I tried

Back to when I cared

Back to when I could

Make a difference here



But now I am lost

And fearful of what is to come

Scared of what I know

Terrified of what I don't



Lost to the sea of time

It washed away my sanity

Washed away my bravery

And washed away soul

I don’t know which direction

To look to head for home

I feel so alone



Now the pounding of the ocean

The rushing of the sea

Have both banned together

And enveloped me
