Misplacin’ entitlement,
bannin’ visitation
Crime ridden, broken windows,
lack of education
Survive the death of the soul,
a sole survivin’ nation
Shatterin’ family cores
and forcin’ new displacement
Wanderin’ hand is a force
we simply can’t escape from
Evil is bought and endorsed
through coded conversation
Don’t be afraid to show emotion
when you least expect it
It’s simply proof of your devotion
doubt is intercepted
Minutes turn to hours
as I savor every part of you
Sharin’ in the power
doin’ favors just to start anew
Demons fly to start a feud
Easy just to call a truce
“Betray your excellence and
your defeat will surely follow suit!”
So keep your head up
Don’t you let up ’cause the city beckons
The hourglass has been broken
as hours turn to seconds
Just let it bleed
and cut the ties that are bindin’
Feel the size of the lapse and write
’til your thoughts are unwindin’
Lace your mind with your talent
watch how the synthesis rises
Paint the ink with your truth –
the one that your demon despises
Start your count from eleven, writer
It’s down to the wire
Final hour requires shunnin’
your pain to the fire!
(Crack the hourglass!)
Never take for granted a single minute
(Crack the hourglass!)
Spend your days ascendin’ beyond your limits
(Crack the hourglass!)
Don’t let a single second go to waste
Invest in your expression
Believe in yourself and keep the pace.
