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

 Falling through the hourglass, through the hourglass
