Hourglass

I've 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 for 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? It's too late to feel, I've 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 the sand enslaved by the hourglass? Will I live again, or will I fade to black? Dehumanizing, when the heart attacks Will I expire before my dreams unfold? But if the future's so bright, the path should glow As the walls melt And the light fades I'm letting quicksand take me As the walls melt And the light fades I'm letting quicksand take me It's too late to feel, I've 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 the sand enslaved by the hourglass? If you look beyond the blindfold You'll find the hole in my soul One fear, one mind, no hope, no time If you look beyond the blindfold You'll find the hole in my soul I'm on the edge of my seat Holding out for a sign Trying to rewrite the storyline It's too late to feel, I've 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 the sand enslaved by the hourglass? It's too late to feel, I've lost my breath With the hands of time around my neck Am I just the pen that wrote the past Or am I just the sand enslaved by the hourglass? Fear is not my fate
