Hourglass

I'm hostage of the present tense
Killing spare time feels like a crime
The hours I've wasted plotting my escape

My eyes are sealed, my body's fueled
So much to do, I'm stuck here glued
I'm damned to count my days up in this town

I'm running out of fortitude
I'm drained of my creative fuel
My thoughts are crumbling like dust
I need a way out of this drought

Memories race through the mind
Like sand in an hourglass

My friends are counting on our youth
Soaking up sunlight in full bloom
Dreaming before the colors fade away

I calculate ahead of time
I rest assured, I've planned my life
I think I'm missing out on my best years

I have to unfold my dreary eyes
And see the world in present time
Release and let go of the strain
And take it one step at a time

Memories race through the mind
Like sand in an hourglass

Memories race through the mind
Like sand in an hourglass
Memories race through the mind
Like sand in an hourglass
