Hourglass
From the moment he was kicked out the fallopian
Mom choking him with second hand
Dad in and out the fam
But on them Sundays
Dress it up for one day
Then the rest of the week
Speeding dial the police
Never knew who started it
He caught beatings as a part of it
The reasons unclear, every season full of tears
Can harden any soul
The pressure filled him with holes
All those kicks to the ribs, his mind started to slip
Was it her or him
He really tried to forget
But they just kept on hitting
The blows was never ending
First he started pretending that he was the one charge
He would distribute the beatings
But would spoil them weekend
Toys looking raggedy
No childhood more a tragedy
Stuck on repeat, the kind that cries you to sleep
She really tried to break him out of them ways
But she didn't understand that he was stuck in a rage
And life is more than a game
And some will never last
Like sands running out the hourglass
She really tried to break him out of them ways
But she didn't understand that he was stuck in a rage
And life is more than a game
And some will never last
Like sands running out the hourglass
Just nightmares and cold stares followed him
Love seemed like an illusion
Confusion, being persecuted
By your own blood
The people you suppose to look up
Act like they don't get a fuck if you live or die
First he asked why
But seen the pain in they eyes
Knew they don't know why
They own life is full of lies
Empty promises and hearts
Same cycles of abuse
So when he finally got loose
He only had one truth, that he couldn't undo
Then he infected his seed, then she calling the police
How did this happen to me
He had to get on his knees and take some looks in mirror
Take a search in his spirit, pull all the poison out
To learn to unlearn and it might take years
Them mental chains hard to break
You gotta face your fears
You gotta face your fears
You gotta face your fears
She really tried to break him out of them ways
But she didn't understand that he was stuck in a rage
And life is more than a game
And some will never last
Like sands running out the hourglass
She really tried to break him out of them ways
But she didn't understand that he was stuck in a rage
And life is more than a game
And some will never last
Like sands running out the hourglass
Like sands running out the hourglass
Like sands running out the hourglass
Mom choking him with second hand
Dad in and out the fam
But on them Sundays
Dress it up for one day
Then the rest of the week
Speeding dial the police
Never knew who started it
He caught beatings as a part of it
The reasons unclear, every season full of tears

Like sands running out the hourglass
Like sands running out the hourglass
Like sands running out the hourglass
