Hourglass

the clock's steady
moving, and I can't be
deceived by what my eyes see
time's still slower than my heartbeat
because my work is,
piling and piling
and my heart is racing the numbers on my watch now

I can't move
I'm frantic so
there's so much time I had
then there is none at all

in a room where it ain't going to matter now
I'm crumbling
I've run out of time now
Time was going,
going,
it's gone now
