Hourglass

You drove my friends off with a smile
Said "the things I do for you"
And then she blacked out all my windows
So now I sleep all afternoon

'Cause I can't wait to escape this fate
Where my heart sees clear but my head's opaque
Now I feel no fear 'cause this life feels fake
When I'm all fucked up and I can't think straight
So she says hey, let me think for you
Got a lot to say, need to think it through
As the summer fades and I just won't do
Couldn't keep you warm, need someone new

And I heard your father passed
But in the end he changed his stance
Turn your face down to the floor
Accept the olive branch
Graduate top of your class
Then leave for school and don't come back
Time keeps slipping through my fingers
Like an hourglass

Yeah, it's been a long time since I felt whole, yeah
I thought you might have felt the same, what do I know?
No trust for the things that I love
As they all burn to ashes and I turn to dust
I will immolate and decay
Just so you can get the smoke until my memory fades
Until my whole motherfucking generation has aged
Outta life, outta time, straight into our graves
Still tryna purge the urge to return to the soil
I wanna learn to love life before I leave this mortal coil
So I'm doing what I can just to make my time count
We all die sometime, even the sun'll burn out
Yeah, the stars grow cold as my time on earth passes
So tell me why the fuck I oughta worry 'bout classes
Give me one good reason I should worry 'bout tomorrow
When I'm absolutely certain that the future's full of sorrow

You heard that I relapsed
I swore I left it in the past
Turn my face down to the floor
Accept my circumstance
Turn my energy to mass
Nothing in this world'll last, yeah
Time keeps slipping through my fingers
Like an hourglass

We live alone, we die alone
We live life on credit
We say goodbye and then we die
Or live to regret it
We live alone, we die alone
We live life on credit
We say goodbye and then we die
Or live to regret it
