Free

Tear drops reflecting a setting sun
The steam tip barrel a loaded gun
Forbidden fruit eaten by the divine
 Grapes of wrath from vine to wine
The wise thirst for knowledge
The fool only time
Wasted thinking of riches
Watching hands of time 
Measuring Gods motions
Plays tricks on the mind
Struggling  soul starved to the core
Torn to tethers 
The world screaming more more more 
One breath
One taste
One last embrace
Things that are cherished in life's big race
Stop running 
Stop counting 
Stop toiling infinitys woes
Why hold a soul in 
That's ready to go
