SWEET UPHEAVEL

Slide away

Slide away today

Slide away tomorrow

Slip through my fingers

Grains of sand

If I put you back and mend the broken hourglass

Would that get time flowing again?

 

Slip away today

Slip away tomorrow

Slip through the cracks of my soul

My deepest sorrow

 

A boy pulls his red kite into the air

A woman stands on the pier

Her hair gently waving in salty air

One just left the genesis of his life

While other is halfway through

 

We are voyeurs in each other’s existence

I can’t seem the stray away from my turmoil

I can’t seem to smile between my teeth

Like you

 

So I slide away today

I slide away tomorrow

I dig deep into the solace of my sorrow
