Hourglass

Time slips through my hands
Like shifting grains of desert sand
A candle's dying light
Eons swallowed, taken by the night
Oh
Assemble in a room with four walls in white
Waste away underneath iridescent hospital lights
Is this all?
Don't imagine the question
The only acknowledgment will be a concession
In the night, fading away
The shadows, Fading to grey
Time slips through my hand
Like shifting grains of desert sand
(Burning at both ends)
A candle's dying light
Eons swallowed taken by the night
To live is to suffer
Taking one day after another
Is there more to life (more to life)
Tear out the heart and rip out the eyes
The dreams we had
Now gathering dust
Oh
(Time)
(Slips through my hand)
Time slips through my hand
Like shifting grains of desert sand
A candle's dying light
Eons swallowed taken by the night
Like the sun on the horizon (fading away, fading away)
We fade quietly
What will it take to fix society
Consume the world
You have my word
