Hourglass

[Verse 1]
The metronome of rain on the rooftop
Velvet draped across the floor, mmmm
Was a time when we measured
But never up to our fathers
The sorrow cuts and as I stare at the blade
You've reached the dark we fear

[Chorus]
Locked, stitches in time
Nothing can break apart our seams
You were humble and kind
Pondering times as I sit in a shrine
Never meant to be

[Verse 2]
Rebuilding a passion that never saw a highway
How many more miles would you bear my friend?
Like a jab to the throat, surrealism silenced the voice
But what is left to say?
And all I can think is thank you for your time
As I reflect with pain

[Chorus]
Locked, stitches in time
Nothing can break apart our seams
You were humble and kind
Pondering times as I sit in a shrine
Never meant to be

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
Spiraling the hourglass
Spiraling the hourglass
Spiraling the hourglass
Spiraling the hourglass

[Bridge]
You have loved, you have seen
Through the darkest nights that steal your dreams
You have gone, slipped away
Only time will help to ease the pain

[Refrain]
Spiraling the hourglass
Spiraling the hourglass
Spiraling the hourglass
Spiraling the hourglass
Spiraling the hourglass
Spiraling the hourglass (The hourglass)
Spiraling the hourglass
Spiraling the hourglass
