Hour Glass
Why am I so easy to look past?
Trapped in this hour glass...
So easy to push aside...
You I never would have denied
As the grains of sand drop one by one
My heart grows hard and numb
You think you have time in your hands
Flip the hour glass and make amends
You can start it over
But you can never rewind
So please dont be so blind
Lost in the sands of time
In the end theres only win or lose
It just depends on who you choose...
What is this?
The face of disappointment reflects back from a blank screen,
Faded memories of a love that I had once before seen,
Foolish yes, foolish no, never really sure where this person wants to go.
I've given my best, I've given my all, and yet in return my heart's left
to Fall.
A whim and on grace, it's torn from this place that I've hidden before.
I can't touch it, can't see it, but please still believe it?
What trusts must I be burdened to hold, while my heart grows so cold?
No hint of desire, no thoughts to conspire my reverence is forced to
behold.
Not captive, not free, what place would this be? Not heaven, not earth,
not joy and not mirth,
Sheer terror, and dread whirl 'round in my head.
No warm comforting kisses, no "I love you", no "I miss's"
Just bleed me, and lead me around on this string,
No consequences, no regrets, no thoughts of effects,
Nothing, but fading into shadowy absences.
What life is this? What place is this? What feeling is THIS that you
share?
How do you dare?
You dictate my words, the things that you've heard, the choice of my
voice, and Yes, my love
What right have you? Whose words have commanded from above?
Who are you? What are you?
Incomprehensibly, the one I love.
Evil thoughts come to mind
Its the strength to hurt you I need to find
Selfish ways too much to take
Set me free before I break
Try to hide
This pain inside
So tight my chains
Why do you bind?
Lead me around Im your toy
You think youre so fucking cute when you play coy
My spirit is dying
Cant you hear me crying?
What I once was is gone...
And yet I still try to play along
Silent now Ill take the blame
And you will carry on with no shame
