Click hereTime's hands have delicately unlaced the corset
That has been cinching the waist of my existence
They've removed the trap my breath was caught in
That kept me from knowing the true essence of life
My lungs are expanding out into the universe
I'm moving beyond a life of barely breathing
Time's hands have extricated the pain inside my heart
That has kept me loveless under gray mourning skies
They've removed the hurt that was a burden in my hands
That tore my intimate relationships into tiny little pieces
I'm not going to live alone in isolation anymore
I'm going to love open and free in the wilds of the woods
With an mellifluous heart that's not bound by life's taboos
Time's hands have pried open my impermeable mind
That has been hibernating inside comfort far too long
They've removed phrenic layers of apprehension
That have cursed my restless thoughts with anxiety
I'm not going to live inside procrastination anymore
I'm going to let my mind travel to Seseine's realms
Let it drink in the gratification of life's divine temptations
Time's hands have pierced my visions of tomorrow
That have been locked inside my dreaming eye
They've removed the veil of illusions blinding me
That kept me from seeing beyond today's tears
I'm not going to live inside oblivion anymore
I'm going to move beyond yesterday's seclusion
With guidance from my inner 3rd eye divination
Time's hands have freed my imprisoned soul
That has been caged inside a lifeless existence
They've removed the chains that bound me to my past
That kept me from seeing the sun rise over the moon
I'm not going to live inside dissolution anymore
I'm going to dance with the muses 'til the end of time
Under endless skies of creativity that I hold in my hand
Time's hands have woken my hidden dreams
That have been sleeping inside disquieting fear
They've knocked down the walls surrounding me
That I built with my own two distrustful hands
I'm not going to live inside apprehension anymore
I'm going to fly on wings of imagination to the ends of the universe
Where I'll drink in the stars as I soar through the celestial skies
A profound look at how time heals all wounds and how it can change one's view of life.
