Out Of Time
Third post here. This song is about growing up. Enjoy.
"The days are getting shorter, to me
There’s less time to hear, and more pain to see
More fences than flowers, less heroes to be
More days pass me by, than when I was three
And I’m older
The world is colder
Easier to see
And you’re younger
Stronger, holding out your hand to me
The world is spinning slower, for all of us here
There’s less courage between us, and more fear
More gravestones than people, less gravestones than tears
More hours go by, and our end is near
And I’m older
The world is colder
Easier to see
And you’re younger
Stronger, just laughing at me
The clocks are running out of time to tick
There’s less time on our hands, more flame than is wick
There’s more laughs at the homeless, less medicine for the sick
More minutes go by, than we can find notes to pick
And I’m older
The world is colder
Easier to see
And you’re younger
Stronger, dying with me
And I’m running out of time to live
There’s less food to eat, and more hell to give
More taxes to pay for, less gold from the sieve
More seconds go by, time just won’t forgive
I’m not a mourner
The world is warmer
Now that it’s done
And we’re younger
Stronger, laughing as one"
