Nacre

Too many things rushing to the surface 
Give me time to sort them out

It's all a bit confusing now

Each word full of doubt

And what's the reason now?

Can't pinpoint the source 

All the future longing

Or all the past remorse

I'll step outside and watch the world

Spinning til I close my eyes

Pretend it's all concrete and still

Cocooned in all these lies

Grit my teeth and hold on tight

Time's still slipping from my skin

It smooths and wrinkles

Scars and fades again

Couldn't it all just stop for now?

Your body still warm beside me

I want all the moments back

Hold them for eternity 

I'll step inside and close the curtains 

Get lost inside my head

The morning sun attempts to rouse me

But I'll just stay in bed

Bite my lip and look away

Time takes everything, I know

In all the fleeting seconds

And years that pass so slow

Too many things settling on the surface

Getting tired of setting them straight 

Treasure each moment that I can

Before it becomes too late
