Span of a Grain

lyrics

Span of a Grain

These flames lick ever higher
I fade into the flames
Been burning time like fire
Only to regain

These hands of time
Slip straight through these hands of mine
And define a different time
When I was once in my prime
Now I’m dying of the thirst
For the first thing that sprang to mind
When I was at my worst
And without the nurse
Of a remedy for the curse
Now I’m ready for the hearse
Can’t reverse these hands
But as it stands
I’m a man that understand
That I can do nothing for the span
Of the life that I’m living
But I’m still not giving in
Why end it abruptly?
When I fought for the beginning
Pinning it on myself
I was bad for my health
But like the side effects
So was everybody else

These flames lick ever higher
I fade into the flames
Been burning time like fire
Only to regain

A justifiable reason to go on
So I must defy all odds before the time is gone
And time is of the essence
So no time to waste my life
On stimulants or depressants
Although I know they’re rife
Psyching myself up to face
These dreaded demons
My might is not enough
To tear away from the screaming
Dreaming of a time
Where the feeling are sublime
But now that I’ve seen it all
It must be out my mind
A sign that there’s a future
To me is the relief
From the skeletal cage
That traps us in belief
Locks us in a spin
As the clock hands win
Over each and every power
Of the universe within

These flames lick ever higher
I fade into the flames
Been burning time like fire
Only to regain
