Thrust your hand into my chest
And pull out a fistful of sand
Cast it down upon the ground

And watch as it blows away

The world keeps spinning ever-on

And dark hair turns to gray
The ticking clock cannot be stopped
And so goes another day


Falling down
Spirit broken

Hollowed out
Never to return


Dig your hand into my eyes
And pull out a fistful of sand
I can only see betrayal now

So I'm better blind

It didn't have to be this way

But I can't reclaim my yesterdays
And so I'll let the string play out
As I lie crushed by my self-doubt


Fallen down
Spirit broken

Hollowed out
Never to return


Words mean nothing
Promises but lies
And my life's hourglass

Empties out before my eyes

One life

One chance
A single invitation to the dance
Choose wise

Choose well
Good intentions pave the road to hell


Words mean nothing
Promises but lies
And my life's hourglass

Empties out before my eyes
