Time presses down
Harder than gravity
Just as relentlessly
Watch the clock
Fall a thousand stories
Still can't step out of harm's way
A reflection of light
A living illusion
A human without mass
A human without volume

In the moment of truth
I stuck with the lie
Got lost in the smoke
Became a slave
To a weak mind

Need to kill a hawk
Need to steal some wings
Blood like red tar

Overdosed on cynism
Swept under and drowned
Lured in by a siren
I ran my ship aground
Slash of Talon
Glimpse of Venus
Tidal waves crashing down

Need to kill a hawk
Need to steal some wings

Grief crawls in the shadow of time
Try to keep in mind
It's all finite
