Hourglass

Seasons pass by

Leaves behind new aches

Passage of time

Breathes death in its wake

Every day comes a change, a mistake

So don’t lay time to waste

Stuck chasing the sunrise

To keep the night away

Wake up, embrace cycles

All until the days end

Turn loves into rivals

Cause what’s broken can’t mend

Are we meant to defend

What can be so fragile

Do we make amends?

Everything is vital

Go home, bury a friend

I need to know that there’s something

After this suffering

That makes it worth living

I’m not content with believing

Or just pretending

Tell me, tell how this ends

Watch time fly

Faster than before

Blurs into night sky

As we wish for more

Oh God, how we cry

Light the way to the shore

But as hard as we try

Nobody wins this war

Fall inside the hourglass

The sands of time, they flow so fast

Every grain, another life

Push through pain, sift through strife

 

The end grows close, we’re lost in fear

This path we chose, our time is here

What matters most, is now so clear

Our hearts exposed, we persevere

I need to know that there’s something

After this suffering

That makes it worth living

I’m not content with believing

Or just pretending

Tell me, tell how this ends

I need to know that there’s something

After this suffering

That makes it worth living

Is there a way to move past this

Tell me there’s a last-ditch effort

To carry through to the end
