Counterclockwise

We all walk backwards into the future,
Dwelling too much on events in the past,
Living in the present; time's torture,
Breathing now in death's contrast.

Dwelling too much on events in the past,
Reflecting regrets that haunt us,
Breathing now in death's contrast,
Riding life stuck in time's tour bus.

Reflecting regrets that haunt us,
An hourglass; sinking, spiraling, sand,
Riding life stuck in time's tour bus,
Fate sealed in father time's hand.

An hourglass; sinking, spiraling, sand,
Living in the present; time's torture,
Fate sealed in father time's hand,
Walking backwards into the future.
