Closer

Closer and closer i climb towards a future that seems so far away

i have seen the flames of my glory flicker out in the blink of an eye

closer and closer i climb towards a future that seems out of my reach

as i look forward the past continues to grasp at my throat

i thought that i had control

of everything around me but it's clear that i've lost my sight of what was going on

i thought i had control
but things aren't always as they seem

i thought
i had control
of everything
around me
control
closer and closer i climb towards a future
that seems out of my reach
closer and closer to the end of this chapter i crawl
no longer enraptured by my past
