She Drinks the Sun Down

Surrounded by the memories of her past
She dives into an hourglass
Resolved to fight against the draw
and be the final grain to fall
Turn the lights out
One nightmare stops — another one begins
Countless hours
She pours so elegantly as she sinks
All alone
And she drinks the sun down
She drinks the sun down
She drinks the sun down
So the days don’t drown her first
In silence, seconds seem to drop
Like bottles on the counter top
Frothy gallows left to dry
Until the light of morning shines
Turn the lights out
One nightmare stops — another one begins
Countless hours
She pours so elegantly as she sinks
All alone
And she drinks the sun down
She drinks the sun down
She drinks the sun down
So the days don’t drown her first
Turn the lights out
One nightmare stops — another one begins
Countless hours
She pours so elegantly as she sinks
All alone
And she drinks the sun down
She drinks the sun down
She drinks the sun down
