Hourglass Lungs

Sing a sad song To the dust in the air That slowly fills my lungs Turning them into an hourglass Counting down the seconds Until i lose my grip On what i worked so hard on The edge of a cliff Feel the dirt and grass strain To hold up my weight I’ll fall anytime soon Into the darkness i’d just gotten out of The once beautiful winter sky Now just looks red Clouds like the claw marks i’ve left Along my legs and arms How do you run with no ground to run on? You dont Theres just space to fall from here Just an echo to the empty and unknown Distract Rather than trying to climb Know no matter how far you get The world will crumble you down Try to enjoy the sunshine The last few seconds it lasts Even if the sunshine Has turned into nothing but empty gas Enjoy the last of sunflowers Before endless dark drowns them out And you’re left forever wondering If they’re still there or the sun left them burnt
