Hourglass Lyrics by Kasland

No More Sick Days

2020

[Verse 1]
If I could harness the magic of time
And redevelop a world with a more passionate mind
Yet wonder, would it be as jagged as mine?
I’d take one day a week to rest and then get back to the grind
They say my words are too deep, my metaphors are too strong
I think their minds are too weak before the chorus comes on
They say it shows in my voice that I’m just forcing it, on
To the next and think I’m faker than a porcelain doll
I didn’t lie, I just borrowed the truth before it was due
Made my sorrow the proof, did it in 4 minutes too
Hit the stage and performing it through
Tried to be a good example for the insubordinate youth
There’s no coordinates to all of the places I’ve been
All of the things that I’ve seen, all of the faces of sin
All of the things I’ve had to do just for the races I win
And now I’m trying to make up for it just in case it’s the end, amen
[Chorus]
My fears are holding me back
My tears are weighing me down
My demons are pulling me in the black
The sand in my hourglass is running out
[Verse 2]
If I could harness the magic inside
And redevelop myself with the most ravenous pride
Yet wonder, would I even have a desire
To be the person I envision? Let’s go back and rewind
Let’s go back to the times when I would care what people think
When I was scared to miss a moment
And wouldn’t dare to even blink
I needed help and couldn’t see it, couldn’t bear to see a shrink
So I kept it bottled up, should I wear it on my sleeve?
Cause now I’m back to these mirrors, fear is actually nearest
When the disaster is earless, can you actually hear this?
Just sit back and keep clear, this isn’t an act, it’s as real as
It gets, in fact it appears that it’s impact is sincere, it’s
A sight for sore eyes and Lord knows I need that now
Praise God for my freedom, I can scream out loud
They think I’m crazy, think I’m being senile, how
Could I expect you understand the things I’ve seen? Thou shalt
[Chorus]
My fears are holding me back
My tears are weighing me down
My demons are pulling me in the black
The sand in my hourglass is running out
[Verse 3]
I’m tired of all the noise, but I fear the silence
When the drums stop, all I ever hear are sirens
Some people seem to fly through life like fearless pilots
While I’m sitting in the cockpit trying to steer with violence
See I’m calm, but I feel a storm upon me
Down my path is enough to haunt me
Full of hatred, anger strongly
Building up to a point I’m looking out the window like a zombie
Lifeless eyes yet beneath these lies
Enough strength to build an army
And I’m sorry, but I hardly feel I can be open without harming
Everybody, so disarm me, I’m not trying to be alarming
We’re not always dreaming, are we? I guess life is no Atari
I’m just trying to play this game, but getting sick of always farming
You can’t pause or reset, yet alone possibly get
A grip of hope while wondering what will it cost to be fed
So keep depositing checks, but life isn’t blossoming yet
So don’t you let your fear and feelings be your cause of regret, bet
[Chorus]
My fears are holding me back
My tears are weighing me down
My demons are pulling me in the black
The sand in my hourglass is running out
