My options are limited
In this pitiful little town
Look left
Look right
Trapped.
The snow pours
On this pitiful little town
The fog hovers
The windows creak
The floor cries in pain
The doors moan
In this pitiful little town
Full circle I've come
Look right
Look left
Shadows.
In this pitiful little town

Time is an important thing but it is also the cause of a lot of pain;Some wish for it to go faster while others wish for it to go faster.Then there are those that wish it could just end. So enjoy the time in life you are given and don&#039;t worry so much.
