A better alternative for the word ‘Overtaken’ would be overwhelmed.

Overtaken
I'm overtaken by time
I need to breath
Glances into the void, I stare at what is left of my future
My memories are becoming liquid, I would like to leave the ship
And by the end, I am wasting my time , How did I get so lost?
The wind is rising, I would try to be a survivor, at the end of my lips
The words are waiting for me, they are useful but, they never fall
deep inside, I am made of catacomb
I have a counter in my head
How many dreams will it take me to stop the clocks?
I'm overtaken by time
I don't think like before
I need to breath, I need to get into the light
I crave distance to feel my existence
I need to distract myself but I am deep in hell
I am overtaken by time
I need to breath, I need to get into the light
Holding tears is a solution
I'm becoming the enemy of my mind
I'm becoming the friend of my urges
I hide between the shadows
I am seduced by the graves
Seduced like Faust 1, I am getting closer to my flaws
I don't sleep anymore
I don't wake up anymore
And through the night I don't counsel myself anymore
I don't sleep anymore
I don't wake up anymore
It's complicated to be alive, but at least I try
I have a counter in my head
How many dreams will it take me to stop the clocks?
I'm overtaken by time
I don't think like before
I need to breath, I need to get into the light
I crave distance to feel my existence
I need to distract myself but I am deep in hell
I am overtaken by time
I need to breath, I need to get into the light
when did I go wrong ?
Because I feel completely out of my way
I am not similar to what I was
I am not the same anymore
I don't understand it anymore
I walk to the sun
I'm overtaken by time
I don't think like before
I need to breath, I need to get into the light
I crave distance to feel my existence
I need to distract myself but I am deep in hell
I am overtaken by time
I need to breath, I need to get into the light
