(Uh)
[Verse 1]
Everyday plays the same
We sift through a ginseng hourglass
Turned over again and again, again and again
When will you take the reins?
Of a life given up to destiny
You get lost in lining up timing and place
The further you age
[Chorus]
'Cause everything missing
Breaks in the vision
The sands of your ginseng winding down
Open and listen
The more you resist them
The sands of your ginseng winding down
'Cause everything missing
Breaks in the vision
The sands of your ginseng winding down
Open and listеn
The sands of your glass are running out
(uh)
[Verse 2]
Everyday plays thе same
We sift through a ginseng hourglass (hourglass)
Turned over again and again, again and again, yeah
Permanence loses strength
In the motion of separating tides
Any fate decided by holding the line
Is hopeless to find, yeah
[Bridge]
When your life's run
Will you tell it like you turned the lights off?
Did you spend it all overly cautious?
Were you someone your mother was proud of?
Did you keep running from all of your problems?
Will you tell it like you turned your lights off?
Will you tell it like you turned your lights
[Chorus]
'Cause everything missing
Breaks in the vision
The sands of your ginseng winding down
Open and listen
The more you resist them
The sands of your ginseng winding down
'Cause everything missing
Breaks in the vision
The sands of your ginseng winding down
Open and listen
The sands of your glass are running out
(uh)
