Hourglass - Queensrÿche

The metronome of rain on the rooftop

Velvet draped across the floor… mmmm

Was a time when we measured

But never up to our fathers

The sorrow cuts

And as I stare at the blade

You’ve reached the dark we fear

Locked

Stitches in time

Nothing can break apart our seams

You were humble and kind

Pondering times

As I sit in a shrine

Never meant to be

Rebuilding a passion that never saw a highway

How many more miles would you bear my friend?

Like a jab to the throat

Surrealism silenced the voice

But what is left to say?

And all I can think is thank you for your time

As I reflect with pain

Locked

Stitches in time

Nothing can break apart our seams

You were humble and kind

Pondering times

As I sit in a shrine

Never meant to be

Spiraling the hourglass

You have loved

You have seen

Through the darkest nights that steal your dreams

You have gone

Slipped away

Only time will help to ease the pain

Spiraling the hourglass
