Chasing Time

I've watched in silence, without seeing

as a stranger within me grew

Detached and distanced from the day

while youth's precious years flew

Chasing time through empty skies

of endless hours

living for the future

Visions of brighter days to come

kept the shadows from my sight

made the present bearable

and obscured the fading light

Chasing time through the cold void

of solitary days

living for the future

Today is within my reach

and tomorrow is so illusive

But I'm still chasing time

through increasing disillusion

forever living for

the future of an illusion
