Hourglass

[Verse 1]
Clock tickin’ on a wall
You walk right past and don’t notice at all
‘Til your demons start to crawl
Ready to attack, they’re equipped with claws
Listen baby, turn on the light
We can only win if we choose to fight
Colors fading to black and white
Pick up the pen and embrace sacrifice…
Before you’re out of time
[Chorus]
Take me to the promise land
No, I can’t go home again
The more that I struggle, the more that I sink
I’m drowning in sand, and I’m drowning in ink
Please, forge a sword out of me
I’ll bleed, but I'll cut through the seed
And emerge from the sand finally
[Verse 2]
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Point mе to a path out of these tame halls
Covеt, Ardor; Scribble, Scrawl
Patience is a virtue until you stall
Listen darlin’, get out of bed
Tell ‘em all the reasons why from A to Zed
Watch the colors spill from my head
Step on the gas before the light turns red…
And leave nothing unsaid
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Tears do not verdant grass make
I will admit my mistake
Tears do not verdant grass make
I will ignite from heartache
Tears do not verdant grass make
I will not be one to forsake
Tears do not verdant grass make
I will make The Hourglass break
[Chorus]
[Outro]
And I may change like the phases of the moon
So bear with me the dawn is coming soon...
