Turning the Hourglass Lyrics by Ben Varney

Reclusive Tendencies

2021

[Part One]
Ugh, a couple fractures in the spyglass
Young calf stung up by the high grass
Don't know why but felt like I just had to get away
Why am I mad at the world when I'm who built this cage
Ugh and nothing seems to quell this pent up rage
Sleepless nights slowly melting into dreamless days
All this shade in the world, it feel like diss a ray
Thoughts picking at my brain never dissipate
Tryna process these emotions through computer ware
Scars on my soul reminiscent of a lunar mare
Blind to the present when you in the future glare
Why I have to numb myself? Cus I'm too aware
And with thеse sins I incite wars
Battling with sevеn men tryna dim my shine like white dwarves
Ugh, speak heat but my mind raw
Colder than the flames of undead dragons on an ice wall
Floating in this metal vessel, liquid thoughts upon my mind
Sand suspended in the glass, my life preserved within this rhyme
Feeling stagnant, forever stranded, a faded light
When shit went left, I replenish strength just to make it right
Barely breathing as I'm drifting through the interstellar
Last glimpe of hope, all the lights start to fit together
Space folding, sand twitching in the hourglass
As the shadows dance, open my eyes and the power starts
[Part Two]
This is for the kids that never thought they were never good enough
That had their heads down but now shit is looking up
Fuck what they tell you, just be whoever you wanna be
Stand for your fellow man, together we have got to be
The world is full of villains, hated and scummy bigotry
Maybe if we knew how small we were, we would live in peace
Everybody got a story that forms their optic vision
Amazing what can change when you really stop and listen
Fractures in the lens, distortions on the television
Words form the surface but the soul sets the definition
Nothing more valuable than connections made with human hearts
On my journey learned it's distance keeping you apart
All of a sudden while I'm floating through the deepest space
A wormhole opens that is making for a neat escape
Drifted through it, ended up in a familiar place
A blue orb in the distance, death not reaching me today
