Hourglass
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Waiting for our time to come
Hiding behind shams
Pretending nothing’s wrong when nothing’s right
Watching the sand flowing
Wondering how long we’ll be waiting
I’ll break the hourglass and start to tell you
I’ll break the chains that I’ve made mine
That nothing’s gonna make me corrupt you
But I’m losing control sometimes
There are so many things I kept inside
Frustration and sadness turned to hate
I can’t help blaming you for your mistakes when I feel I am kept aside
Time made this feeling intensify
The hopes I had came down and down
I’m watching the sand flowing and I keep on going round and round
Time made this feeling intensify
The hopes I had came down and down
I’m watching the sand flowing and I keep on going round and round
I’ll break the hourglass and start to tell you
I’ll break the chains that I’ve made mine
That nothing’s gonna make me corrupt you
But I'm losing control sometimes
I’ll break the hourglass and start to tell you
I’ll break the chains that I’ve made mine
That nothing’s gonna make me corrupt you
But I’m losing control sometimes
