Hourglass

You drove my friends off with a smile

Said "the things I do for you"

And then she blacked out all my windows

So now I sleep all afternoon

'Cause I can't wait to escape this fate

Where my heart sees clear but my head's opaque

Now I feel no fear 'cause this life feels fake

When I'm all ****ed up and I can't think straight

So she says hey, let me think for you

Got a lot to say, need to think it through

As the summer fades and I just won't do

Couldn't keep you warm, need someone new

And I heard your father passed

But in the end he changed his stance

Turn your face down to the floor

Accept the olive branch

Graduate top of your class

Then leave for school and don't come back

Time keeps slipping through my fingers

Like an hourglass

Yeah, it's been a long time since I felt whole, yeah

I thought you might have felt the same, what do I know?

No trust for the things that I love

As they all burn to ashes and I turn to dust

I will immolate and decay

Just so you can get the smoke until my memory fades

Until my whole **********ing generation has aged

Outta life, outta time, straight into our graves

Still tryna purge the urge to return to the soil

I wanna learn to love life before I leave this mortal coil

So I'm doing what I can just to make my time count

We all die sometime, even the sun'll burn out

Yeah, the stars grow cold as my time on earth passes

So tell me why the **** I oughta worry 'bout classes

Give me one good reason I should worry 'bout tomorrow

When I'm absolutely certain that the future's full of sorrow

You heard that I relapsed

I swore I left it in the past

Turn my face down to the floor

Accept my circumstance

Turn my energy to mass

Nothing in this world'll last, yeah

Time keeps slipping through my fingers

Like an hourglass

We live alone, we die alone

We live life on credit

We say goodbye and then we die

Or live to regret it

We live alone, we die alone

We live life on credit

We say goodbye and then we die

Or live to regret it
