Too long

(Verse 1) (Fast-paced, driving drum beat) The clock hands are hunting me, pulse hitting the wall, Too long I was a shadow, waiting for a call. I watched the days melt like ice in my hand, Building my castles on shifting sand. I’ve lost so many years in a maze of my own, Now every second feels like it’s etched in stone. (Bridge) (Heavy bass, building tension) No more excuses, no more hollow hope, I’m cutting the tether, I’m burning the rope. I’m in a hurry, the road’s getting tight, Every late start is a losing fight. (Chorus) (Full power, distorted guitars) There’s no time left for the wrong turns now, I’m facing the mirror, I’m making a vow. I need to focus, find the eye of the storm, Break from the shadows and find a new form. I have to live the rest the right way, Before fate closes the book and calls it a day. (Verse 2) (Gritty, rhythmic guitar) The city noise is just an echo of the past, Time to mend the pieces, make the moment last. No room for "tomorrow," no room for the fear, The smoke has faded and the vision is clear. Locked on the target, like a hunter in the wild, No longer the victim, no longer the child. (Chorus) There’s no time left for the wrong turns now, I’m facing the mirror, I’m making a vow. I need to focus, find the eye of the storm, Break from the shadows and find a new form. I have to live the rest the right way, Before fate closes the book and calls it a day. (Outro) (Slowing down, heavy final chords) The rest of it... Pure and real. Focus... Now or never.
