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
