How Long Will Your Hour Last? [5:45] 2018.
A piece about the haunting whispers of ghosts, old memories and past occurrences haunting an individual. Sometimes an hour can pass by in seconds, but sometimes, it feels like a lifetime when one is being burdened by the chaos in their mind.
Self loathing is holding the essence of being
Cascading darkness turns a body heartless
Unseeing grieving abolishing all meaning
Why?
Every lie building up fire and rage
The test of time, time has its wage
Every word, grain of sand in an hourglass
Leaves me tempted to ask...
How long will your hour last?
How long?
