Thirteen

(I'm thirsty - And weary from the heat

As the Sands rinse the hands of time

I will suck the venom from your wound

If you will do the same and suck from mine,)

(You and I - Were ruined by

This desert between us

I walked through the valley

and stared into death)

(This instance of a distance

Designed to defeat us

And still her face I can't seem to forget)

The war you wage

Forever the life that you pay

Something wrong in you

Comes alive in your veins

Lose yourself in some kind of Hell

A new version of where you are now

Truth's unveiled

You'll never ever get out

(At a glance - Sudden avalanche

Suffocated me within

Gasping for air I can't breathe)

(Paralyzed - I've been sterilized

And cleansed of my sin

In a state of suspended belief)

Somewhere along the way

Time changes everything

We all disintegrate

It's running out,

(Taunted by time

Imposing it's certainty

Absolute always

Stopping for nothing

This race cannot be won)

(So days it crawls

While other days it flies

It feeds on our flaws

And knows no compromise

Inevitable rise of the sun

Time what have I become)

Somewhere along the way

Time changes everything

We all disintegrate

It's running out,

The war you wage

Somewhere along the way

It's running out.
