Hourglass

I swam an ocean of silver and gold I walked a beach that was never cold Followed lights along crooked roads I slept on ashes in a quiet zone Heard a story that was never told Flipped a switch, left you all alone Here inside the hourglass Sand has turned into stone I'm trying to read your lips There's nothing I control I'm still alive, still alive, still alive But I can't move Still alive, still alive, still alive I can't move I saw a door in the alley behind I know you're crying on the other side I'll make it back to you, but give me time If I could tell how I feel inside You'd see I never wanted us to fall You'd see I never wanted love to die Here inside the hourglass Time has turned into stone I'm trying to read your lips but There's nothing I control I'm still alive, still alive, still alive But I can't move Still alive, still alive, still alive I can't move
