Lyrics Hourglass - GRAYE

Clock tickin' on a wall
You walk right past and don't notice at all
Til' your demons start to crawl
Ready to attack they're equipped with claws
Listen baby, turn on the light
We can only win if we choose to fight
Colors fading to black and white
Pick up the pen and embrace sacrifice
Before you're out of time

Take me to the promise land
No I can't go home again
The more that I struggle
The more that I sink
I'm drowning in sand
And I'm drowning in ink
Please
Forge a sword out of me
I'll bleed
But I'll cut through the seed
And emerge from the sand finally

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Point me to a path out of these tame halls
Covet, ardor; scribble, scrawl
Patience is a virtue until you stall
Listen darlin, get out of bed
Tell 'em all the reasons why from A to Zed
Watch the colors spill from my head
Step on the gas before the light turns red
And leave nothing unsaid

Take me to the promise land
No, I can't go home again
The more that I struggle
The more that I sink
I'm drowning in sand
And I'm drowning in ink
Please
Forge a sword out of me
I'll bleed
But I'll cut through the seed
And emerge from the sand finally

Tears do not verdant grass make
I will admit my mistake
Tears do not verdant grass make
I will ignite from heartache
Tears do not verdant grass make
I will not be one to forsake
Tears do not verdant grass make
I will make the Hourglass break

Take me to the promise land
No, I can't go home again
The more that I struggle
The more that I sink
I'm drowning in sand
And I'm drowning in ink
Take me to the promise land
No, I can't go home again
The more that I struggle
The more that I sink
I'm drowning in sand
And I'm drowning in ink
Please
Forge a sword out of me
I'll bleed
But I'll cut through the seed
And emerge from the sand finally

And I may Change like the phases of the moon
So bear with me, the dawn is coming soon
