Inescapable Fate

Running from a nightmare I can't seem to shake
All these pictures on the wall they must all be fake
Cuz they're everywhere I go and everything I see
But I never seem to reach my destiny ya see?

The lights cut out and I can't see a thing
My head starts to spin and my ears begin to ring
Dazed is the dark and nothing's in sight
I'll take anything just shed me some light

I take my last breath and I close my eyes
Left to accept I've reached my demise
My body grows cold and lips turn blue
The things they said have finally come true

But one last time I open up my eyes
All dried up and no more tears to cry
The clocks run down as it takes its last tick
This one last moment how long will it stick?

I'm Holding on to whatever is left
Even if it's the lonely secrets I've kept
I've got nothing anymore and I'm only stranded
I grab for you but everytime I'm left empty handed

I can't hold on anymore there's nothing left behind
I've constantly been searching but I can't seem to find
What seems to be just a memory to me
There's no hope Here so just let me be

I'm torn apart and withered away
Ya Sworn to my heart that It was okay
I can't even speak to it at all anymore
It's all locked up and shut all its doors

Locked itself back inside that cage
"Never thought I'd be back to this stage"
Broken and left to repair on my own
Only if you'd just pickup the phone

And whisper life back into my soul
Before the damage finally takes its toll
And the broken pieces of my heart multiply
And the last bit of hope in me dies

But why do I even bother with it at all?
I'm just another memory hung up on the wall
And I'm too far gone to be brought back
There's many reasons but I've lost track

There's nothing left to do but watch and see
The mess left behind as you leave
So I'll look back too but all I see
Is the distance growing quickly between

The past will never again reach the present
And The future will never again make sense
The morning sun will continue to rise
But you'll never understand it's lustful disguise

Making it look as if life never is dark
But all I get handed is a little spark
Keeping me wondering if it'll ignite
But you can only put up so much of a fight

When youre made to think everything is gold
But proven that you're just stranded in the cold
What more is there to really to Believe?
That you're meant to be scarred and left to bleed?

It seems like that's what life is meant to Be
Or atleast it's that cards it's handed me
I feel like I'm stuck and I need a way out
Something to take away all of this doubt

And if everything that I've been shown
And everything that I've come to know
Matches what I've felt for so long
Then I'm right and everything else is wrong

I hope there's something left to bring me to life
Something left to allow me to sleep at night
Then show me what it is and do it quick
Cause the clocks taking its final tick

This was a long piece but had me hooked through the entire way. The way the rhymes are smooth and each stanza creates a visual clear to see and understand what you're trying to convey. Its masterwork, really. This expresses urgency in a finality tone but also wisdom for all the things you experienced by what caused this to be so. Thank you for sharing this.
