Hourglass

When pretending lends a helping hand

We hold it close, so close, and never let it go

Then, the pen begins to write the story

With an end that bends right out of our control

How did we get so jaded? I don't know

Was it the white lies feeding our egos?

I never valued minutes I burned through

Is that just how it goes?

Seconds I wasted, I was fixated

You're devastated, sorry to say

I can't fix it, is this where I give in?

I'm falling through the hourglass

And I don't think I'll ever make it back

So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb

Victim to the sands of time

Falling through the hourglass

The hourglass

Time is strange, it's ever flowing never going back

It moves, but only in one way

Turn the page, look back at what you wrote

Do you still feel the same? I'll bet your mind has changed

How did it get so scary? I don't know

Was it the hard life starving our egos?

I never valued minutes I burned through

Is that just how it goes?

Seconds I wasted, I was fixated

You're devastated, sorry to say

I can't fix it, is this where I give in?

(Let's go!)

I'm falling through the hourglass

And I don't think I'll ever make it back

So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb

Victim to the sands of time

Falling through the hourglass

The hourglass

Cause that's just how it goes

Cause that's just how it goes

Cause that's just how it goes

Falling through the hourglass

And I don't think I'll ever make it back

So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb

Victim to the sands of time

Falling through the hourglass (through the hourglass)

I'm falling through the hourglass (I'm falling through the hourglass)

And I don't think I'll ever make it back (make it back)

So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb

Victim to the sands of time

Falling through the hourglass

The hourglass
