There is no more room for breathing
Walls are closing in
Because of darkness my eyes are hurting
The world seems to spin.
Suddenly I'm amidst a desert panting
Eyes searching the unknown
I can hear my heart loudly thumping
Pumping at a certain tone.
Standing on quicksand, my feet are sinking
Pinch for a reality check
But nothing feels real what am I thinking
Then felt strangled by the neck.
It doesn't matter how far I leap
I'll never be able to make up to you
The distance between us will forever keep
Us framed in this view.
I see your hair swaying all over your face
You standing still like the fate
Tears swell up and flow down my face
I want to scream but it's too late.
I fell down onto my knees in pain
Pain of separation surging in
As I stare at the miles lying ahead in vain
Then eyes catch you, my only kin.
Never thought like this I'll ever lose you
It is getting hard to keep my gaze at you
Knelt down and weeping strange
Why can't this present change?
Why can't this present change?
