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
