Trapped in a corner

shadows close in tighter

Life's a bad script

I ain't the typewriter

Fate's a rigged dice

rolling snake eyes

Dreams in a casket

no sunrise, just goodbyes

Eyes wide shut

can't escape this maze

Heart's a furnace

burning through my haze

Cement shoes dragging

I'm sinking in fate

Clock ticks slow

mocking every breath I take

Angels went ghost

demons throwin their feast

Tried to find peace

but the chaos increased

I'm lost in the static

drowning in the noise

Life ain't no gift

just a game with broken toys

Don’t want no morning

no more skies to chase

Let me fade out

just erase my face

They say "man up,"

but I'm cracked to the core

Pain’s a landlord

always banging on my door

Tears like gasoline

feeding this fire

Hopes hit the pavement

crushed under the tires

Voices in my head

they spit a raw hook

Past like a crook

every memory it took

I scream at the heavens

but the echoes mock

Chains on my soul

and they triple the lock

Love you still

A phantom in my chest

memories infest

Love turned ghost

left my mind undressed

Confusion rains

drowning my own reflection

Every thought a storm

every tear's rejection

Ticking slow

The seconds won’t go

Time froze

trapped where your shadow glows

Love’s a wound

it cuts too deep

I lost you

now I lose my sleep

I replay the good

but the bad’s on loop

Soul tangled up

in a noose of truth

Your voice

a melody haunting the wind

Regret’s a chain

I wear it like skin

Eyes wide shut

but your face still burns

Every corner I turn

your ghost returns

Tried to move forward

but I’m stuck in reverse

Love was a blessing

now it feels like a curse

How do I heal

when the scars still bleed?

How do I breathe

when your name’s my need?

Answers fade, questions grow

Ticking slow, ticking slow

Tried to find peace

but the chaos increased

Heart tangled

emotions deceased

Clock ticks slow

mocking every breath I take

Time ain't healing

just salt in the ache

Memories screaming

they won't let me sleep

Digging through my chest

wounds too deep

Confusion spinning

cyclone of grief

Love's a thief

robbed my belief

Left with questions

no answers near

Your silence louder than I can bear

Breathing in fragments

choking on the past

How do I let go

when the pain holds fast?

Questions with no answers

silence in my chest

Searching for you in the chaos

no rest

Shattered time

slipping through my hands

Every memory

cuts deeper than I can stand

Lost in the echoes

can’t find my way

You were the light

now it’s all just gray

Tears on the page, ink bleeds like veins

Wounds wide open, dressed up in chains

Confusion a maze, no exits, just walls

I scream at the silence, but no one calls

Your voice still whispers

in the cracks of my head

Every word a needle

stitching wounds I bled

This ain't healing

it's a loop, a rerun of regret

A battle with time

and I ain't won yet

Windows cracked open

the cold whispers blame

Mirror shows a face

but the eyes ain't the same

Questions hit harder

than the answers evade

Memories replay

but the edges all fade

Was it me? Was it you?

Every thread I undo

Pulls me deeper in this loop

Your voice

a ghost, lingers in the air

Can't touch it

can't hold it, but I know it's there

Left me in pieces

scattered like glass

Every step forward

feels chained to the past

Confusion spinning

cyclone of grief

Love's a thief

robbed my belief

Left with questions

no answers near

Your silence louder

than I can bear

Shattered time

slipping through my hands

Every memory

cuts deeper than I can stand

Lost in the echoes

can’t find my way

You were the light

now it’s all just gray

Where do I go

when the map’s been burned?

Lessons unlearned

tables overturned

Peace feels foreign

a language I can't speak

Lost in the chaos

still searching for relief

Confusion spinning

cyclone of grief

Love's a thief

robbed my belief

Left with questions

no answers near

Your silence louder

than I can bear

Santi Flores

Ticking slow

time don't heal

Pain don't fade

it's all too real

Still confused

I can't let go

Loving you

my endless woe
