Hourglass

In the springtime, flowers blooming
Pink and yellow all assuming
Up the green earth, 'til the autumn
When they start to feel our god come

Weather gets cold, leaves are falling
Decomposing with no stalling
Then the snow falls with an ice chill
And the flowers write their will

They didn't live that long
They only got so much
They had their moments
But until too late they felt the rush
Rush, rush, rush, rush, rush, rush, rush, rush

Rush hour madness, ending in damage
Sickness, disease, and sin, how do we manage
Riots and violence, we keep creating pain
Minutes are ticking, we don't wanna stay
All the countless seconds that we throw away
Cause we don't wanna play nice, we do it all in vain
And God will know what we did on the judgement day

Make assumptions 'bout other people
We do not know them, yet we make labels
We're not living in the moment
We just let it go, we don't hold it

But one day we'll be low on moments
And we'll wonder who has stole it
We'll be thinking back about who's to blame
But the only one who did it shares our name

We do not live that long
We only get so much
We have our moments
And they are the ones we should love
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love

Love to be angry, love drawing blood
Keep people 'round when we feel in our gut
They are poisonous, we keep keeping pain
Minutes are ticking, we don't wanna stay
All the countless seconds that we throw away
Cause we just wanna play cool, we do it all in vain
And God will know what we did on the judgement day

We say that we don't care at all, we laugh and gawk
But everything we do is based around the clock
We all just sit and watch the sand
And hope it all will go as planned
But we don't know when the day will come for our final stand

Imagine what you'd be like floating in the sky
We all got the same parts, but we see from different eyes
We have got the same connection to the track of life
We have endings and beginnings, they just come at different times
We have endings and beginnings, they just come at different times

We say that we don't care at all, we laugh and gawk
But everything we do is based around the clock
We all just sit and watch the sand
And hope it all will go as planned
But we don't know when the day will come for our final stand
