Slowly

Slowly

The sands in the hourglass fall

The hands on the clock tick

Counting down

To when I forget this

Cloudy eyes

Crystal clear

See everything

For what it is

Blurred

My warm blood is flowing

Freezing cold

And I’m just living

So that I can die.

The truth of the matter is

Everything is a lie

And we’re all just living

So that we can die

There is no point

In earning fame

Because in years

Everyone will forget your name

We say hello

So we have a reason to say goodbye

We’re all just living

So that we can die

But we tell ourselves

It's good to live in pain

And bad to die in bliss

There is no peace

After war

The aftermath that silently tore

Cities apart as garish bombs fell

Invisible to the naked eye

We’re all living

So that we can die
