Trapped in an hourglass.
Why does everything look so funny?
Why do I see these weird shapes??
Why does everything look distorted and blurred?
Like someone's playing old rusted tapes?
Where is everyone I was with,
Why is there noone around me?
Why do I feel sand under my feet,
Where the hell could I be?
What's this I have on my sleeve?
And these grains I feel in my hand?
What's this falling from above my head!
Is it really raining sand??
Am I dreaming or is it for real?
Can I possibly be inside an hourglass?
Is it the price I have to pay,
For killing time and letting it pass?
Oh! I pray, I promise, I swear myself,
I will never repeat this again,
Just let me out and use all I have left,
For lost time will never return again!
need to re-frame the 4th and last para... but was in a hurry.
