Hourglass

Hello friend, there's a vacancy here
Now I see the bend
And gradutuon is near
I cannot pretend
It's only time in my ears
Like an hourglass that started so clear

The sun goes round the earth
Goes round the sun goes down
Before the days begun goes off
Just a little too late
I can't act now but I don't have time to waste

I'm short sighted can't see past my fingers
Good intentions drowned out by the speakers
I'm short sighted can't see past my fingers
Good intentions drowned out by the speakers

I'm empty, you're something
The cure for all this nothing
This won't be, this whole week
But still it's got me thinking
I should turn right but right feels wrong
But there's no road left to turn left on and
Off this went for far too long
And now the switch is on but the lightbulb is gone

I'm short sighted can't see past my fingers
Good intentions drowned out by the speakers
I'm short sighted can't see past my fingers
Good intentions drowned out by the speakers

I can't see past my fingers
You can't see past my mouth
I can't just let this linger
Cause pretty soon you won't be around
With you I feel my footsteps
With me you feel your laugh
We've only got two weeks left
To separate the wheat from the chaff
You're ready, am I willing
I'm hungry, are you filling
You're smiling, I'm shaking
Call Liam Nieson cause I've been taken

I can't see past my fingers
You can't see past my mouth
I can't just let this linger
Cause pretty soon you won't be around
With you I feel my footsteps
With me you feel your laugh
We've only got two weeks left
To separate the wheat from the chaff
