Brake pedal sinks almost to floor

In my 1991 Honda Accord my brake pedal only sinks close to the floor when braking for a long time. Should I bleed the lines?

Your master cylinder could be on it's way to the grave, if that is not the case check your calipers for leaks or any other braking components.

Start at the easiest thing....make sure there is still fluid in brake booster reservoir (obvious I know).

It's obvious that it's the Brake MC. If the line are leaking, you will not have pressure at all even if you step on the pedal to regain pressure due to air entering the line.
