Contemplation In Time

[Verse] You stiffen more, becoming fragile Time keeps whispering, "Be quick before you lose your chance" The tinted mirror of your face My eyes are drying out Each time I touch your face Sand pours down my hands Your eyes fill up with salt and life's regrets [Chorus] One day we'll both get tired Of turning over the hourglass Of empty cupboards with spider webs and dust Sands of time seeping through the glass Following the grim that fingers I don't mind shaking hands I'm losing time again, again [Bridge] Each time I comb your hair Stressful semi even console me "They will grow back" We both know that they won't Your parchment paper hands resemble moon lakes Dry and cold These cracks I see myself in will soon take over Will soon take over [Chorus] One day we'll both get tired Of turning over the hourglass Of emptying cupboards with spider webs and dust One day we'll both get tired Of turning over the hourglass One day we'll both get tired I'm losing time again, again
