Hourglass Lyrics - Set It Off

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 

'Cause that's just how it goes 

'Cause that's just how it goes 

'Cause that's just how it goes

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, through the hourglass 

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
