Time Is Too Fast

Info

The lined wooden floor embraced my footsteps
For the first time I felt the environment's safe
The sun-lit room glowed and welcomed my presence
No one was there, except the armchairs

Then all of the others quickly went in
Their shoes are gold, their uniforms clean
The first hour's so good, the prayers went on
The last hour's too long, I craved for a spoon

At first night I felt the loneliness inside
The room that I rent, the depths of my mind
A flashback begun of yesterday noon
My mother had said "Goodbye, see you soon."

It was June 15th, the sun is too bright
My lips never spoke, my actions too bound
Two forces within me, now starting to fight
The blue light have come to spoil me year-round

As imaginary white tiny snowflakes drop
We slept in at night of my friend's foster home
Our ears and our minds were not harmonized
For being confrontred about our own 'lies'

Three weeks have gone the same thing begun
Woke up the next day, the loss of the sun
Massive dark clouds, and forceful white winds
Fainted our hearts as strong as the rain

We were like birds, chirping for help
Of somewhere to go, and somewhere to stay
We were afraid, we can't go home
For better or worse, we knelt down and pray

January the 8th, things were the same
The holidays done, the weather was lame
We were bombarded of too many tasks
The year-end is near, I'm losing the game

The lined wooden floor embraced my footsteps
And for the the last time, I felt loneliness
The sun-lit room glowed and welcomed my presence
All ended there, with all the mem'ries

Time flies too fast, we've never known why
So quick is the sunrise of laughters and cries
Time just slows down, it will never cease
So quick is the sunset of hatred and peace
