Time approaches
Time approaches. I plead. I bargain.
Renegotiate one more year.
Still too soon for me to bury
the daring dream I dreamed I'd find.
Renegotiate one more year.
Open neck, sweet self-sacrifice,
the daring dream I dreamed I'd find.
My dream will flourish, my working hands,
open neck, sweet self-sacrifice,
as money slowly trickles out.
My dream will flourish, my working hands
have not yet finished. It's only started
as money slowly trickles out,
my feet, my hands, ceaseless, frantic
have not yet finished. It's only started
the churn and twist inside my gut,
my feet, my hands, ceaseless, frantic,
I push myself. Stay awake,
the churn and twist inside my gut,
the race to keep my dream alive,
I push myself. Stay awake!
I close my eyes to passing days,
the race to keep my dream alive,
aware the end creeps forward.
I close my eyes to passing days,
exhaustion aches into my bones,
aware the end creeps forward.
My dream becomes my life, my death.
Time approaches. I plead. I bargain.
Still too soon for me to bury
my dream becomes my life, my death
time approaches. I plead. I bargain.
