Can’t Beat Time When Time Is Up

Breathe out when you’re boxed in.
Minutes keep passing and still you’re thrashing.
Making amends just isn’t on the cards.
Open these doors!
Calls that you keep screaming.

Wander round inside my head.
Claws keep slashing wanting me dead.
But my own anger keeps them at bay.
Cut the bullshit!
I won’t bow to them today.

Parasitic influence creeping in.
They are a stark reminder of what’s coming.
With minds full of violence set in stone.
Freedom demanded!
They’ll be made to die alone.

Wreaking disaster at every turn.
Too late is when we’ll eventually learn.
For the pendulum will have swung away.
Crashed and burned!
Nothing comes after today.

So prepare for the unpreparable.
Pointless endeavour but still you pull.
Strings won’t form as you and I wish.
Too far gone to ever accomplish.
Saviour on such a grand scale.
Acceptance is all that won’t fail.
Its why I offer no ifs and buts.
Rather I will face these cuts.

Confined like a rat in a cage.
This was the story that lasted an age.
But every story has an ending.
Can’t escape our fate!
The universe is in the final act of its…
Ren-ding!
