The Pain Behind It All

Enemies on every side Taunted by the curse of pride Reluctant to the winds of change A relic from a dying age The pain behind it all Stagnant in time now The pain behind it all Times passed us by now Out of touch and left behind The skin I wear it clings too tight I try to speak but I can't breathe In this ever changing world I see I only suffocate with time I try but I can't reach you And time won't wait Fear takes over now, I have nothing to say Fear takes over now, I can not communicate Each strike is deafening it's drowning out everything The gears of this old machine Are now obsolete Times killed, killing me Why won't it wait for me?
