Hourglasses

Open wide your eyes
See the signs and
Words form on your lips
You convinced yourself of this

Staring at your own face
Unfamiliar in the replays
It takes backbone to stand up straight

Just look away
When you have the truth in your face

I don't know you
The way I thought I used to
Can we go back?
We're racing hourglasses
Can I save you
From all that you have been through?
But I'm no better than you

A stranger in your own skin, wearing thin
Retracing the lines, memories
(PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS)

You're as vile as the things you swore to hate
But I can't pretend I'm not the same
