This one I wanted to capture being dead, but although you are free from life, you don’t want to move on however bad things were in your life, you still cling to familiarity and fear change and what is beyond and wait in the hope that you will be given another chance.

Time of Death by ~ ShadowPsychos
My spirit has left the burrowing confusion
i have finally released myself from my shackles
the blinding rage that housed severe delusion
i have passed my time of dying
i have been ejected from all your trivial madness
rejected from inhaling another crisp promise
i completely missed the warning signs
that groped my ears
in a thousand misinterpreted translations
still lids tuned in to the static distraction
the end game to the chaos
eternally creeping through the darkness
over shadowed by the clock face
swimming in reverse
tick-tock the hours drift into backward days
and the trials fall with the passing of the seasons
as the drone of life fades by
and hopeless footsteps cast upon the ground above
break any chances i have at love
or being stuck in the crossfire of awkward glances
i am free, yet have bound myself into the grave
still clinging on the wind of salvation
for a time when i shall rise again
to be given a second chance
instead of my accidental relapse
that has crashed my body into the ground
to see those hands pacing onward
in the way that goes against the dead
in a hopeful longing of reprise
