time & happiness

wave to the seas 'cause the oceans lie overhead
crash on the beach and relax with your legs in the sand

is this the end?
how will you spend all of your time & happiness
alone in tears sublime, cry when you cannot forget

stare at the sun 'cause you can't see the stars in the sky
open your mouth and create a new space in your mind

is this our time?
how will you find your travels to the other side
will you recall the past or leave all of your memories behind

save a young life for the chance at earning your wings
kill an old man just to rid of material things

now it's the end
how did you spend all of your time & happiness
alone in tears sublime, cry when you cannot forget
