As the time passes

The sand builds up

And I can’t reach the door

I try to shift through the sand

But it’s above my waist

And I can hardly move now

As the times passes

The sand builds up

And I can’t breathe anymore

I try to dig way out

But it’s up to the ceiling

I think it’s moving faster somehow

As the times passes

The sand ceases to fall

The room is full and time’s run out

I stop trying

And just except that I’m dying

Until I hear _pound pound pound_

__

As the time passes

The sand fills my lungs

But then the door opens and I hear a shout

I stop fighting

Because I’ve been set free

Can’t thank him, too sore to make a sound

As the time passes

I think back to that day when I say grace

And remember the young boy’s face
