merry-go-round

Another hour trickling past
Another week slipped into memory’s vaults
Clichéd sands of time
flowing through my fingers
and grating against my skin
raw with tears and sweat

light a candle
don’t let it blow out

Another face I’ll never see ever again
Fables are ruining this life
can’t you learn the lesson yourself
no, its all snappy sentences
just all pocket-sized morals

Its all going by so fast
merry-go-round, won’t you slow down?
I gotta take time to breathe
and make it all last

light a candle
don’t let it blow out
observe the world around you
just this once

oh, go on, go on, why don’t you

Another hour trickling past
Another week slipped into memory’s vaults
Clichéd sands of time
flowing through my fingers
and grating against my skin
raw with woe and fret

And it’s all going by so fast, so fast
merry-go-round, won’t you slow down?
I gotta take time to breathe
and make it last
