Quick as sand through a hole Collecting down further To the whole They fall to preach Of a time now spent Still a bit left Not enough to repent Pray my sand leaks out Through a crack Or shattered glass I need not know How long I'll last A moment here or there Of hidden joy Go out with a bang, dear Don't obsess of time wasted Can't go back The sand has risen And all you are to do Is to let yourself be pulled down The constant state of motion Not the wait from beginning to end You're just wasting more sand And now I'll try To spare some of mine My time is filled With other's sands all of the time So why not share what could be refined? My hourglass shape Shows my time On my arms and in my mind I've spilt some sand that wasn't mine Living longer is simply my crime So let me fall And I'll fall right past I need not know How long I'll last
