hourglass 3

I have complained my entire life
insisting time run faster
I'm an impatient man
nothing is ever on time
I'm ready for the evening
when it's the morning after
a long night of drinking
Coronas, salt and lime

but now they're slowing down
days of life untasted
the memories of my younger days
have crumbled in my hand
I cannot make up for
all the time I've wasted 
how fast this life is going
I do not understand

          so for now I'll just breathe
          let out a heavy sigh
          the end of my journey
          is sternly stopping by
          to take me from people
          I will forever miss
          it's a high price to pay
          when you cease to exist

please calm me tonight
hold softly my hand
ease my troubled mind 
be my best friend
the hourglass is almost empty
it's running out of sand
just hold me close
until the very end

          so for now I'll just breathe
          let out a heavy sigh
          the end of my journey
          is sternly stopping by
          to take me from people
          I will forever miss
          it's a high price to pay
          when you cease to exist
          it's a high price to pay
          when you cease to exist
