Hourglass Lyrics

I won't say. No display. Turn away

As if nothing really mattered

And your song was not a scream

I'd wake up in the morning

Just another crazy dream

You'd have all the covers

And three quarters of the bed

I'd let you have it all

Just to have you back instead

I won't try not to cry. Goodbye

Seems like such a dirty word

When you say it in that way

And you pick my broken heart

Like some vulture with its prey

These final few seconds

Are burned into my brain

While i try to keep my sanity

From going down the drain

I live life in an hourglass

Not too slow and not too fast

I just watch the world go past

The sands of time mean nothing

Now that you're not here anymore

I won't care. I just stare. This nightmare

Doesn't end when i awaken

In a way it gets much worse

And though i know it all by heart

You know that i'll rehearse

All the things that i would say

If only you were here

I hear my words ring off the walls

And slowly disappear

I live life in an hourglass

Not too slow and not too fast

I just watch the world go past

The sands of time mean nothing

Now that you're not here anymore
