Standing in line, braving the cold
The clock on the wall is ticking to the rhythm
Inside my chest
Looking back doesn't help moving forward
The people in front and behind me
Have all been through their own bloody wars
Smashing into you
(When the countdown started
And I began to trip over my creed)
Was the tipping point at the edge of my mind
I am taken but I am alone
The sand runs through the hourglass too slow
I am taken, my heart is on loan
But grain by grain this hourglass sand will fall
Waiting in line, for our share of healing time
The man at the counter isn't giving it for free
He's taking us for thieves
"You got yourself in this god forsaken mess"
But there's a solar system in my head and my heart is the sun
Smashing into you
(When the countdown started
And I began to trip over my creed)
Was the tipping point at the edge of my mind
I am taken but I am alone
The sand runs through the hourglass too slow
I am taken, my heart is on loan
But grain by grain this hourglass sand will fall
We ran through light, for years in the space of days
Beings intertwined, a ceremonious escape from pain
Now the days take years, and I'm scared of the night
I'm scared to try again,
I know the fall like it's an old false friend
I am a lost soul, I'm not here for you
God knows if I'm even in the room
Time spins around me, I can't grab a hold
I am the earth and he is still the sun
Still the sun, still my sun
