Hourglass

I've watched the whole world drowning in chemicals

Dissociative, but it takes it's toll

Can I surpass time, or would I start to rust?

Depreciating, collecting dust

And I fear myself as I fall away

In a cold deluded sense of fate

When the nightmares come, and the doubt sets in

Will the fever break, or will I burn from within?

It's too late to feel, I've lost my breath

With the hands of time around my neck

Am I more than the pen that wrote the past

Or am I just a sand enslaved by the hourglass?

Will I live again or will I fade to black?

Dehumanizing with the heart attacks

Will I inspire before my dreams unfold?

But if the future's so bright the blood should glow

As the walls melt, and the light fades

I'm letting quicksand take me

As the walls melt, and the light fades

I'm letting quicksand take me

It's too late to feel I've lost my breath

With the hands of time around my neck

Am I more than the pen that wrote the past

Or am I just a sand enslaved by the hourglass?

If you look beyond the blindfold

You'll find the hole in my soul

One fear, one mind, no hope, no time

If you look beyond the blindfold

You'll find the hole

I'm on the edge of my seat

Holding out for a sign

Trying to rewrite the storyline

It's too late to feel I've lost my breath

With the hands of time around my neck

Am I more than the pen that wrote the past

Or am I just a sand encased in the hourglass?

It's too late to feel, I've lost my breath

Hands of time around my neck

Am I more than the pen that wrote the past

Just a sand encased in the hourglass?

Fear is not my fate

Fear is not my fate
