Sands of Time

I saw you browsing through the covers
at your favourite record store
Your fucked up taste in music
could have knocked me to the floor
So calming and confusing
to finally feel true pain
A bleeding heart wide open
I’m leaving all my lies
selling my enterprise
You’ve passed the point of no return
forever in your prime
Trying to leave a marker
in the falling sands of time
Fight to see your moment last
you know it ain’t no crime
Hoping to leave your marker
in the falling sands of time
Your light is much too focused
against the vastness of the sky
Like a fool I keep on staring
into your mesmerising eyes
I called myself a trickster
I know you caught my lie
Like I could cast a spell on you
I’m leaving all my lies
selling my enterprise
You’ve passed the point of no return
forever in your prime
Trying to leave a marker
in the falling sands of time
Fight to see your moment last
you know it ain’t no crime
Hoping to leave your marker
in the falling sands of time
So I realise I’m hypnotised
Someone recognised my disguise
I don’t care what consequence might bring
sure I’ve been such a fool for lesser things
