Frozen In Time

Frozen In Time - Grave Etchings On Their Faces - Nearly Fossilized Engravings When words are hard to find When gravity gets in the way Never call them wrinkles in mixed company Lines form deep canyons over time in secret History becomes the past as you grow older Some words are hard to swallow Some things are better left unsaid Old men come from the past Flow down the river with it into yesterday Some things are better left unsaid In ancient circles it is tradition But circles under the eyes Heads hung lower than the human race Speak volumes Say everything worth mentioning Feet never touch the ground when telling stories Loftier heights must be reached if only in futility Worn out by time with sunken eyes cried out Nearly fossilized, grave etchings on their faces Dark and sinuous in their hidden messaging Their feet never reach the ground as men remembered At least not until tomorrow should they wake again How can that be with all that weight of history Heads hung lower than the human race Time is never on your side when speaking of the past With grave thoughts and gravity etched on their faces
