Embers

Could you build an hourglass And bend it in the dirt 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 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
