Hourglass

I swam an ocean of silver and gold
I walked a beach that was never cold
Followed lights along crooked roads
I slept on ashes in a quiet zone
Heard a story that was never told
Flipped a switch, left you all alone
Here inside the hourglass
Sand has turned into stone
I’m trying to read your lips
There’s nothing I control
I’m still alive, still alive, still alive
But I can’t move
Still alive, still alive, still alive
I can't move
I saw a door in the alley behind
I know you’re crying on the other side
I’ll make it back to you, but give me time
If I could tell how I feel inside
You’d see I never wanted us to fall
You’d see I never wanted love to die
Here inside the hourglass
Time has turned into stone
I’m trying to read your lips but
There’s nothing I control
I’m still alive, still alive, still alive
But I can’t move
Still alive, still alive, still alive
I can't move
