As the Hour Hand Thins (Don't Lose this Time)
I see you
Entertain the nourishment
Of an elusive dream.
And as I feel the streams of life
Run through my fingers
I fall to twisted knees.
And in agony I scream,
"Don't let this world do you in!
Don't let an angel steal you off the ground!
Don't let my hunger for your existence
Go unfed...
And don't forget the words
I said..."
There's just...
Too many saturated thoughts
Inside your head.
Begging you to stop.
And take the desolate road
Laid out
In dirt red...
But don't you tell me
You can't turn around...
Trek back over the footsteps
Mistakingly etched
Permamently into the ground.
But erase
A future sorrow.
It's all worth it in the end
If you'll just turn
And leave the black horizon
For tomorrow...
A coin is flipped.
Half a chance
It lands on your thinning wrist
Tails down.
So take the heads up
While you can...
