The Heart Demands

A stroll down memory lane revealed gaps as large as years

Ambition had the same properties as a butchers blade

The solstice in their eyes betrayed a change of seasons in their minds

Reversed the hourglass impatiently for more wasted time to pass



Fusion and confusion hand in hand, numb to what the heart demands

Seize what little time we have... What we have left



Here comes (the) wintertime, with snow to cover our crimes

And supervise our swift demise, as we urge it to pass us by

Killing time was a grave mistake

Sleeping through the years... 

Now I can't awake! 



Fusion and confusion hand in hand, numb to what the heart demands

Seize what little time we have... What we have left



Or can't you see that gold is closer to lead then we care for?

And that marble is merely stone?

Precious moments pass to fast

Faint, new memories kill the last

On the run

Come undone?

I may never



Weren't those the days, my friends?

Live life without tomorrow

Now it seems that I'm the subject of a tragedy

All my goals achieved, but can't recall the roads I travelled

Count the memories on my hands

My empty, aging hands



Slow it down

Look around in this bitter deception



Fusion and confusion hand in hand, numb to what the heart demands

Seize what little time we have... What we have left
