Hourglass

Ive watched the whole world drowning in chemicals
Dissociative, but it takes its toll
Can I surpass time, or would I start to rust?
Depreciating, collecting dust
And I fear myself as I fall away
In a cold deluded sense of fate
When the nightmares come, and the doubt sets in
Will the fever break, or will I burn from within?
Its too late to feel, Ive lost my breath
With the hands of time around my neck
Am I more than the pen that wrote the past
Or am I just a sand enslaved by the hourglass?

Will I live again or will I fade to black?
Dehumanizing with the heart attacks
Will I inspire before my dreams unfold?
But if the futures so bright the blood should glow
As the walls melt, and the light fades
Im letting quicksand take me
As the walls melt, and the light fades
Im letting quicksand take me
Its too late to feel Ive lost my breath
With the hands of time around my neck
Am I more than the pen that wrote the past
Or am I just a sand enslaved by the hourglass?
If you look beyond the blindfold
Youll find the hole in my soul
One fear, one mind, no hope, no time
If you look beyond the blindfold
Youll find the hole
Im on the edge of my seat
Holding out for a sign
Trying to rewrite the storyline
Its too late to feel Ive lost my breath
With the hands of time around my neck
Am I more than the pen that wrote the past
Or am I just a sand encased in the hourglass?
Its too late to feel, I've lost my breath
Hands of time around my neck
Am I more than the pen that wrote the past
Just a sand encased in the hourglass?

Fear is not my fate
Fear is not my fate
