I press my face upon the pane
Trapped inside transparent domain
Still...So many things I do not see outside
And many more yet from which I hide
My thoughts,they betray me
Torn and ripped apart
Why am I no longer able to decide
Who will or who will not touch my heart
My soul has come unhinged
So careful was I to keep at distance
But in you I am made vulnerable
Bewitching enchantress...You've weakened my resistance
I tremble from what you've done
Yet I can't put you out of my mind
Under seige of so many emotions
Those I'd believed I had resigned
My identity you have stolen
As if by thief in the night
If any were to look me in the face
They would surely see my fright
I ask myself "How has this happened to me?"
Have I finally gone insane?
Stepping now away from the glass
Mad eyes stare...reflected on the pane
I fall to my knees,unsettling the dunes
arms outstretched and empty handed
Looking about my desert world
realizing I've been stranded
I stand accused...my own judge and jury
A crime made of my sentencing,I sentenced my own crime
A life inside the hour glass...
A life...just killing time
