THE HARDER THEY FALL
Sands through the
hourglass bury the little time we have left
Sounds ring in my
ears drowning the love of my past
Crushing burdens are
chips on my shoulders made of bricks
Building higher one
by one
The higher it climbs
the harder they fall
When the outside
noise is dominant
That's the power
louder than them all
Blood runs deeper
than any ocean from any corner of the earth
Mud rising knee deep killing
any feeling until I am numb
Massive mountains of
fear in the wake of a avalanche
Building higher one
by one
The higher it climbs
the harder they fall
And there is only one
constant
Continuously loving
me through it all
