obelisk

time in constant motion

like the shifting desert sands

slipping through my hands

chasing down the minutes

that turn into days

seconds get shorter

as years fall away

chasing down my dreams

under borrowed light

a mirage in the distance

escaping my sight

driven to live or driven apart

what's inside us when we depart

driven to live outside of regret

time is finite

the clocks are set

driven to live or driven apart

i realize my flame is burning away

starward searching i will find my way

the power of the mind ready to combust

i will show you fear in a handful of dust

combust

my flame is fleeting

but i will live and learn

rise and burn

tick and turn

rise and burn

time in constant motion

like the shifting desert sands

slipping through my hands

driven to live or driven apart

what's inside us when we depart

driven to live outside of regret

time is finite

the clocks are set

driven to live or driven apart

combust
