Hourglass Lyrics - What You Thought You Heard - Borialis

A lot of cats are hatin', slandering makin' bad statements 

Mad cause they sit on their ass just stagnating 

Always vacillatin', now classmates I graduated with 

Are wonderin' how the stupidest kid up in the class made it 

Sick landscapin' and jammin' down in my mans basement 

Getting restraints and complaints from mad neighbors 

Now prejudice bigots say I sound just like them damn #%# 

Them pair of lenses ain't repairin' their impaired vision 

I'm on a mission escaping my own prison 

Inflicting more pain then you're givin' see I'm my own victim 

I can't believe I let you take up my time 

Take up space in mind, give it here, I'm takin' what's mine 

(Chrous) 

The only ounce of power that I have 

Is what I do with now 

And how I let the hours pass 

I dont' know how long I'm gonna last 

So I can't let ya snatch the powder out my hourglass 

Everyday that I'm awake I face the angel of death 

He may be taken my breath, so they can lay me to rest 

And by now my inner state's the only place that I rep 

The way that I dress is just another way to express 

We know that some day everybody we see will be dead and rotten 

Long forgotten, we oughta keep this for a normal topic 

Because we all get caught up in all the drama 

But what's the gossip gonna mean, when me and you are goners 

See I never did audition for a part in this play 

I know that some day I'll accidentally fall in my grave 

So I can really give a shit about what all of ya say 

According to me is how I'm spending all of my days 

(Chorus) 

The world will keep turnin', the inferno will keep burnin' 

But it's affirmative my life on Earth is impermanent 

And since I'm visiting and my minutes here are limited 

I ain't havin' or doin' shit if I ain't feelin' it 

I'll lend a hand to a hurt pedestrian and I will help a friend 

In any way that I can, but I can't let man get up in the way of my plans 

Make me stray from my path, I can't be takin' that chance 

(Chorus)
