Embers

Could you build an hourglass
And bend it in the dirty

Could you leave the world behind
To see it in reverse

All the questions they offered me

All the embers in the sea
They tried to follow me
This limerence they see
Thriving in their greed

When the seas align
Drugged machines in tide

Leave my mind

(Leave my mind)

When the Sun will cross the path
Into another land
There is not much left to grasp
Before it burns between your hands

All the answers they still gave me

All the embers in the trees
They tried to follow me
This limerence they see
Drowned in reverie

When the leaves alight
Memories they fly
In my mind

All the embers in the breeze
I tried to set them free
Their limerence I see
Lying far beneath

Memories with eyes
Selfishly reside
In the skies
