Stuck in an hourglass,

Running out of sand,

Like water leaking through the roof,

I see you understand.

I haven't got the slightest clue

No I haven't the faintest idea

Of how much longer we can stay here.

Ticking on a clock

Stuck in the cogs when it stops

Time

Time that we don't have

Passing slowly before our eyes.

Stop talking about the future! They say.

I say, But I have a plan.

They say there isn't time for future plans

Only time for present ones.

I struggle against this, I want to plot it out

I'll be history 100 years from now,

And I need to make my life count.

But oh, now I see

Now I know

All I've got

Is right now.
