Hourglass

[Chorus]
Flying round my mind, a hundred eyes, they speak the truth
Thirteen grains of sand, they're falling, they’re falling through
Early morning dust, it's settling round me in waves
Can't stay up cause I might hear you calling my name

[Verse 1]
Hanging on by a thread
Hear the thumping on my left side
Fifteen hours in this bed
But I guess I really don’t mind
Find me catching fire on the date line
Resting pulse but only during day time
Checking in and screaming that I'm just fine
On my knees and pleading trapped between these fine lines
I'm grinding my teeth, I'm struggling to breathe, I think it's cause all the pollution
I've been here before, I cannot be sure, but I pray there's a simple solution

[Chorus]
Flying round my mind, a hundred eyes, they speak the truth
Thirteen grains of sand, they're falling, they’re falling through
Early morning dust, it’s settling round me in waves
Can't stay up cause I might hear you calling my name

[Verse 2]
Melatonin bandit, it’s my final gambit
Can't help but watch the clock cause it's all that I can do
Crying in my blanket, just can't understand it
Swirling the cup, watch the storm start to brew
Three tablets standard, now I’m empty handed
It's normal for me to be a handful for you
Body is anchored, mind feels slandered
Sharp grin wide cause they know that I can't move

[Bridge]
Things aren't that bad, I just sometimes forget
How to escape when I'm trapped in my head
How to deal with having something to dread
Inshallah you'll guide me, inshallah I'll listen
Guess it's just something that I have to learn
Peace and prosperity has to be earned
I'll draw a 13 and my fortunes will turn
Inshallah you'll guide me, inshallah I'll listen, inshallah you'll help me and you'll make a difference

[Chorus]
Flying round my mind, a hundred eyes, they speak the truth
Thirteen grains of sand, they're falling, they're falling through
Early morning dust, it's settling round me in waves
Can't stay up cause I might hear you calling my name
Flying round my mind, a hundred eyes, they speak the truth
Thirteen grains of sand, they're falling, they're falling through
Early morning dust, it's settling round me in waves
Can't stay up cause I might hear you calling my name
