Lil Xtra - Hourglass lyrics
[Lil Xtra - Hourglass lyrics]
You drove my friends off with a smile
And said "the things I do for you"
And then she blacked out all my windows
So now I sleep all afternoon
'Cause I can't wait to escape this fate
Where my heart sees clear but head's opaque
Now I feel no fear cause this life feels fake
When I'm all fucked up and
And I can't think straight
So she says "hey let me think for you
Got a lot to say, need to think it through"
As the summer fades, and I just won't do
Couldn't keep you warm, need someone new
I heard your father passed
But in the end he changed his stance
Turn your facе down to the floor
Accept the olivе branch
Graduate top of your class
Then leave for school and don't come back
Time keeps slipping through my
Fingers like an hourglass
Yeah, it's been a long time
Since I felt whole, yeah
I thought you might have felt the same
What do I know? (What do I know?)
No trust for the things that I love as they
All burn to ashes and I turn to dust
I will immolate and decay
Just so you can get the
Smoke until my memory fades
Until my whole motherfucking
Generation has aged
Out of life, out of time
Straight into our graves
I'm tryna purge the urge to
Return to the soil
I want to learn to love life
Before I leave this mortal coil
So I'm doing what I can just
To make my time count we all die sometime
Even the sun'll burn out
Yeah, the stars grow cold as
My time on earth passes
So tell me why the fuck I
Ought to worry about taxes
Give me one reason I
Should worry about tomorrow
When I'm absolutely certain that the
Future's full of sorrow
You heard that I relapsed
I swore I left it in the past
Turn my face down to the
Floor accept my circumstance
Turn my energy to mass
Nothing in this world will last, no
Time keeps slipping through my
Fingers like an hourglass
We live alone, we die alone
We live life on credit (Hourglass)
We say goodbye and then we die
And live to regret it (Hourglass)
We live alone, we die alone
We live life on credit (Hourglass)
We say goodbye and then we die
And live to regret it
And said "the things I do for you"
And then she blacked out all my windows
So now I sleep all afternoon
'Cause I can't wait to escape this fate
Where my heart sees clear but head's opaque
Now I feel no fear cause this life feels fake
When I'm all fucked up and
And I can't think straight
So she says "hey let me think for you
Got a lot to say, need to think it through"
As the summer fades, and I just won't do
Couldn't keep you warm, need someone new
I heard your father passed
But in the end he changed his stance
Turn your facе down to the floor
Accept the olivе branch
Graduate top of your class
Then leave for school and don't come back
