Hourglass

If dead men tell no tales, then hells no hotter
Than thinking I've wasted all of your time
Why chase my own tail when I want to be adored
Like someone from the back of the line

"Entertain me, play a song that I like
We didn't pay for an opening band or some guy."

As always you'll say what's on your mind,
As always you'll take what your fingers can find
More often awake, more likely out of time
A day in the life escaping from mine
The hourglass is emptied out and now so am I

You want to go home, no more reason to stay
Came for a show, have slowly slipped away
All that you want, no, you won't get from me
Ain't y'all avant-garde, stoked to be easy prey
But I'm afraid of that look on your face
You don't know what I say, all you hear's mumbling
If I'm running out of time
No hope to survive then why'd I even try

"Entertain me, play a song that I like
We didn't pay for an opening band or some guy
Think you're so great, no crowds out here tonight
Entry fee's paid, you aren't worth a dime."

As always you'll say what's on your mind
As always you'll take what your fingers can find
More often awake, closer we're out of time
A day in the life escaping from mine
As always you'll think I'm whatever you like
As always you'll drink to health on the decline
More often you'll stream singles other than mine
A day in the life running out of time
The hourglass is emptied out and now so am I, hey

Entertaining playing songs that you like,
Maybe you paid for an opening band or some guy
Maybe I'll play without a crowd tonight
Still, I'll do me, pay me no nevermind

As always you'll say what's on your mind
As always you'll take what your fingers can find
More often awake, closer we're out of time
A day in the life escaping from mine
As always you'll think I'm whatever you like
As always you'll drink to health on the decline
More often you'll stream singles other than mine
A day in the life running out of time
The hourglass is emptied out and now so am I
