lyrics

I reflect on memories searching for solace beyond the veil

Every second like a grain of sand
Slipping through your fingers
Taken by the wind

Existence oh so frail
It occurs to me when I close my eyes
Desperate for slumber that is not
Thwarted by thoughts of mortality

Shaken to my core
My fate is unwarranted
So much unfinished business
A paradox of consciousness

Life is fleeting so I cling to my beloved
Sharp uncertainty rings throughout and weighs me down

Born waiting on bated breath
For a dance with death.
