Hours Lyrics by Sapient

Barrels for Feathers

2010

[Chorus]
The wheel in the sky keeps burnin' (burnin')
The wheels in my mind keep turnin' (turnin')
I work late hours, I keep late hours
The buzzin' in my head gets louder
The wheel in the sky keeps burnin' (burnin')
The wheels in my mind keep turnin' (turnin')
I work late hours, I keep late hours
The ringin' in my ears gets louder

[Verse 1]
Made with love, it's made with hate, it's...
Feeling emaciated
It's chipped and cracked, no it's perfect
And to fix it would be a disservice
Put it in a print and spread it
Like shadows that shadow the incandescence
So, it's dark times for your boy
Plus a little sunshine winding your toys
My voice and my poise are charmless
My art is all poison darts that point at targets
No more squinting like a newborn (newborn)
Abandonin' the dirt that I shoot for (shoot for)

[Bridge]
...Working angles
Gettin' and givin' daps to perfect strangers
Pretending I don't mind the germs they make
And I sanitize with burning hatred
As Sapient markets the things that he did
Markets will cease to exist
My clique, armed to the teeth we resist
The mark of the beast on our wrist, yeah

[Chorus]
The wheel in the sky keeps burnin' (burnin')
The wheels in my mind keep turnin' (turnin')
I work late hours, I keep late hours
The buzzin' in my head gets louder
The wheel in the sky keeps burnin' (burnin')
The wheels in my mind keep turnin' (turnin')
I work late hours, I keep late hours
The ringin' in my ears gets louder

[Bridge]
Hours, I work late hours, I keep late hours
Hours, I work late hours, I keep late hours
Hours, I work late hours, I keep late hours
Hours, I work late hours, ..now the buzzin' in my head gets louder

[Verse 2]
I feel it in my skull like rollin' thunder
The holes in my stomach control my hunger
One hand in a rabbit hole, the others hold the balloons
And now the kids do it cos we told 'em it's cool
Humans are sticky, why would I love them?
Stupid and shifty, they lie and they covet
But we all are one, what's mine is yours
We all gon' be in the dirt with the dinosaurs
That wheel in the sky keeps on burning (burning)
The wheels in my mind keep on fuckin' you up
This is Sapient production, I'm layin' in the cut when
They label me disfunctional, I gotta say they're right
I got a serrated knife, puttin' cuts in your ears
Now you crave my life's work, my mind hurts
My eyes burn, I'm awake goodnight
If I don't kill I don't eat state of mind

[Outro]
Anyone in the world can know pain
All work and no play'll make a person go crazy
Anyone in the world can know pain
All merk and no play'll make a person go sane (crazy)
Anyone in the world can know pain
All work and no play'll make a person go crazy
Anyone in the world can know pain
All work and no play'll make Kurt go Cobain
