Race Against Time

Speed through Every memory that dares To hold hostage A single second of your day

Race by Every mistake That drags you deeper Into a past miasma Of pain and despair

Fly far enough To leave behind Every choice that ended in tragedy Where logic Was only an afterthought And rejection followed every passionate declaration With more consistency than the setting sun

So flee Faster than you have before Without time for second thoughts In your desperate dash To escape every haunted moment

For the past is catching up Faster than a freight train And your only choice Is to run
