Chaos In My Mind

Three, Two, One

Fading photographs, forgotten memories,
ticking echoes of long gone centuries
The clock keeps ticking, but I'm stuck in place 
The past is a ghost that I can’t seem to face

Was it all for nothing?
Just chasing empty dreams? 
Now I'm drowning in the silence, haunted by my screams

3, 2, 1, I’m lost, too much in my own head 
Each thought a chain, pulling me deeper into dread 
10, 20, 30 minutes, hours turn to days 
Wasted in this darkness, caught in this maze

Time slips away, like sand through my fingers
The more I hold on, the more it lingers
A prisoner of my own mind, can't find the key 
Locked in my doubts, longing to be free

10, 20, 30 minutes, a lifetime in disguise 
Wasted chasing shadows, tears in my eyes

So here I am, another minute lost 
Paying for my thoughts, but at what cost? 
Fading time, so much regret 
Every “what if” and “could have been” I can’t forget 

10, 20, 30 minutes, sinking in my thoughts 
Counting down the moments, all the battles lost 

Was it all a dream, a shadow in the dark? 
Now I’m stranded all alone, with a fractured heart

3, 2, 1, too much, slipping through the cracks 
Overthinking every moment, can’t find my way back 
10, 20, 30 minutes, hours turn to days 
Wasted on the sidelines, in this endless maze

Seconds become minutes, minutes turn to years 
Time’s a thief in the night, stealing all my tears 
Counting every second, but the numbers lie 
I’m caught in this illusion, as life passes by

3, 2, 1, too much, I’m out of touch
Overthinking every breath,
would someone be mourning my death?
10, 20, 30 minutes, lifetimes fade to black 
Wasted on regrets, no way to turn back

So here I stand, another moment gone 
Don't know what's right, everything feels wrong 

3, 2, 1, out of sync, with each tick and tock 
The hands of time, stuck inside the clock 

10, 20, 30 seconds, lost in contemplation's tide 
Each moment slips like whispers, fading from my mind 

Counting every second, each one a fleeting beat 
The clock is ticking louder, beneath my tired feet 

3, 2, 1, too late, the hourglass runs dry 
Time’s a ghost that haunts me, as the years go by 
10, 20, 30 minutes, hours turn to night 
Wasted in the darkness, seeking out the light

Counting seconds, each one a silent scream 
The clock's run is cruel, erasing every dream 
It's chime keeps ticking louder, each beat a distant drum 
In this race against myself, there's nowhere left to run

So here I stand, counting shadows,
the echoes of my mind 
Lost within moments,
answers I can't find 
3, 2, 1, I'm gone, out of touch, I fall 
Drowning in the sea of days, with nothing left at all
