under the tortured capture of time
under the tortured capture of this rhyme

dwell in the uncertain future
thoughts of what could be, full of dread
stay in the concrete past
where memories and hopes are dead

                                     don't be confined
                                     to stay within the lines
                       run, escape
                       break free, walk away
          become your own
          live your life
          like you have nothing left
today, this moment, take it
