Sand in an Hourglass

[Intro] Time slipping through my fingers... Like sand in an hourglass [Verse 1] Looking back at pictures on my wall Smiling faces frozen in the frame Empty spaces next to where I stand Wondering if they'll stay the same The calendar marks days I might not see But I keep writing plans in anyway Something in my chest keeps getting tight Every time I hear them say "someday" [Chorus] I won't see these seasons change Won't feel the winter's pain Time won't leave its mark on me The clock strikes, but I remain Like sand in an hourglass [Verse 2] Another birthday card I'll never sign Another promise left unspoken here My reflection shows today, but nothing more As numbers fade and disappear The doctor's words replay inside my head While I pretend that everything's okay But evidence is stacking up like bills That I know I'll never have to pay [Pre-chorus] The weight of knowing Crushing down on me The truth I'm holding Sets my anger free [Chorus] I won't see these seasons change Won't feel the winter's pain Time won't leave its mark on me The clock strikes, but I remain Like sand in an hourglass [Verse] Penciled in appointments fade away Future plans dissolve like morning rain Empty pages in my notebook stay Blank spaces where my life remains Watch the calendar grow thin As I cross off what could've been University acceptance letter Gathering dust upon my shelf Wedding venue deposits That I'll never get to spend Retirement funds frozen In accounts I'll never end Career paths never taken Family trees that stop with me All these possibilities Trapped in perpetuity [Solo] [Breakdown] EMPTY FRAMES! BLANK PAGES! TIME BETRAYS! FUTURE FADES! [Bridge] They say time heals But time's not on my side They say to live each day But days are what I can't provide [Chorus] I won't see these seasons change Won't feel the winter's pain Time won't leave its mark on me The clock strikes, but I remain Like sand in an hourglass [Final Chorus] I won't see these seasons change (These seasons slip away) Won't feel the winter's pain (The pain remains today) Time won't leave its mark on me (Forever young they'll say) The clock strikes, but I remain (While others fade to gray) [Chorus - Screamed] I won't see these seasons change Won't feel the winter's pain Time won't leave its mark on me The clock strikes, but I remain Like sand in an hourglass [Final Chorus] I won't see these seasons change (These seasons slip away) Won't feel the winter's pain (The pain remains today) Time won't leave its mark on me (Forever young they'll say) The clock strikes, but I remain (While others fade to gray)
