Perceptions

The thing is, you think you have time
So you watch it slip away
like water into sand
You think by speaking the truth
You can save a world
A love
So you speak with thunder
And then watch everything crash
You think there is hope
So you preach it
Vouch for it
Declare it to the world
All the while despair is eating it away
And we don’t know, because we don’t see
