Hourglass Lyrics by Sky Swamp Orange

Odium

2022

[Verse 1: Stray]
Cathedrals burn within this courtyard
Shadows dance upon the snow
Dismal thoughts swarm my head now
From wondering where you roam
It's hard to explain to you all exactly how it is I feel
It's like I've been trapped in a hurricane where everything's still
This wasn't a part of the plan
I'm lost and I'm out of demands
I'm only screaming out now in the hopes that you hear me
From wherever you stand
Because I'm having a tough time
With all these hopes and dives
[Hook: Stray]
And I'm so sorry that you couldn't be here to witness this
Forever my mind will dwell in this hourglass
And I'm begging you haunt me
So that I can tell you're listening
Forever my mind will dwell in this hourglass
[Verse 2: Stray]
It must've been 5 A.M
Because you felt nowhere close to me
And I ignored those calls
Because they didn't feel necessary
But the rings kept coming
And they rade my mind until the ultimate plummet
My heart sank low to the depths of my stomach
I sat there thinking that a punchline's coming
But no, I cannot feel this
If you're gone I'm looking for a reason
It hurts my soul as if it was bleeding
I'm searching but I can't find the meaning
I've never been the one that you could call faithful
A stranger in a suit telling me this is a fable
Take joy from your passing give thanks for your halo
Tell me if I find God, do I find an angel
[Hook: Stray]
And I'm so sorry that you couldn't be here to witness this
Forever my mind will dwell in this hourglass
And I'm begging you haunt me
So that I can tell you're listening
Forever my mind will dwell in this hourglass
[Verse 3: Stray]
Let me numb myself
Stop pretending you get it you're not me, you're just someone else
And I would trade you in a second
If that second meant a moment
I could see that smile again, I'd never regret it
Leave me be I don't need to come down
They say my brother lives in heaven
Hence my head in the clouds
Hoping praying and wishing I catch even a glimpse
Of him or a silver lining, anything that makes sense
Anything to calm my nerves, anything to bring rest
Maybe a little piece of mind to patch the pit in my chest
Maybe a little less stress as I manage this wreck
'Cause I'm afraid I might do something
That most of you would regret
From glances over the ledge
To old repetitive hymns
Regardless ofmy attempts I'm never closer to him
I'm drowning in every inch of self loathing again
The absence of a friend until I see you again
[Hook: Stray]
And I'm so sorry that you couldn't be here to witness this
Forever my mind will dwell in this hourglass
And I'm begging you haunt me
So that I can tell you're listening
Forever my mind will dwell in this hourglass
And I'm so sorry that you couldn't be here to witness this
Forever my mind will dwell in this hourglass
And I'm begging you haunt me
So that I can tell you're listening
Forever my mind will dwell in this hourglass
