(Is this the end?)

I feel the hourglass spin

And the sand begin to fall

The seconds counting down

With nothing to show for it all

Persistence is key

That's what they always told me

But as the glass becomes half empty

It's harder to believe

Now if I

Fall any harder I will collapse into what I never could be

Maybe it's not about easy

Maybe luck of the draw

Oh shit

I could sit for hours and write about how life's not fair

But I've said it all before and still no one heard

Can't break me

Better run 'cause God can't save me now

Restrain me

Better run 'cause God can't save me

Watching, waiting

Sometimes I'm just faking

Hoping never praying

That I'm not just remaking

Everything feels the same

I don't know what I'm saying

Life stands still but the clock remains ticking

Tick tock, tick tock

Time feels like it's running out in my head

And I can't quite seem to find the words to emphasise

You're misled

Something feels familiar

Something I can't quite put my finger on

And in this intermission

I feel like I'm not quite moving on

Struggling to find a reason

Struggling to find the why

Hopeful that it's not just everyone

Holding on to this lie

So long and good night

I know I'll be the one to win this fight

And then the sun will set

On another day the same

I'm on a merry-go-round but the merry eludes me

And then the sun will set

On another day the same

I'm on a merry-go-round but the merry eludes me

Alone

Take it from me

Leave me all on my own

Tie me down, repeat the day

Watch the shadow on the clock ticking away

Because by the time I'm done

Any state of reality is fucking gone

Can't break me

Better run 'cause God can't save me now

Restrain me

Better run 'cause God can't save me

Now
