Lyrics

I hear your laughter inside my hourglass.
Your resonance, reduces it to shards.
The glass is flying, it alway finds me.
It cuts me down.

And I am down, I am down.
You cut me down, you lose me with your perfect timing.

All of me was in, now I'm frozen on the edge of bad thoughts.
They're creeping in now to kill me.
They push me down, now I'm lost.

And I am down, I am down.
You push me down, you lose me with your perfect timing.

Do I exist? Can I still see?
I feel the slaps across my face and I believe.
The sting will fade.

There is blood and so the world takes notice.
It takes a crimson sacrifice, self inflicted for change to happen.
Are our peaceful proceedings irrelevant then?
Arrogance won't stand at attention.
Until it feels threatened by exposure so the louder you scream the more people will hear you.
But if words are just words, then no action attaches, so they float away diffusing in the distance.
Until the shrieking becomes a chilling breeze on the neighboring shore.
They fly away darting in paths of least resistance, longing to cling to free air.

I am down.
I am down, you lost me with your perfect timing.
