Life Runs Out Like Sand

In this ever-changing world

In these times, these days of challenge

As my systems begin to fail

I hear voices beyond the veil

Love decays under our dying star

Strange, how time delays the knowing who we are

As the years slip through my hand

My life runs out like sand

I will play a poison lullaby

In fields of gravity under a falling sky

As the day slow-fades away

Warning shadows crawl across my walls of grey

Sweetness drips from the exquisite corpse

Sleeping sickness grips at every ghost who walks

As the years slip through my hand

My life runs out like sand

Out like sand

Out like sand

Out like sand
