as the hourglass measures time in sand we keep it moving and forever do or die my man we on a ride that spans through the wildest lands ain´t no end to the treasures we can find my man the hourglass measures time in sand we keep it moving and forever do or die my man we on a ride that spans through the wildest lands ain´t no end to the treasures we can find my man
the train rushes through the quiet night as tired lights vanish in the distance like fireflies I think to myself the way they pass by is like time and life and thats how my mind ignites I tell my right thumb and index they got rhymes to write I look back out the window trying to find the lights that inspired me - but all I really find is night pitch black as if something was there to blind my sight but there's a whole world out there I just can't see it now a beatiful girl out there I just can't be with now billions of people out there struggling and trying hustling and buying and suffering and dying drunk parents out there cussing and fighting while their kids are lying listening and crying politicians out there bluffing and lying and people sick of this whole shit clutching the iron a big and invisible world that be passing by a world of love and hate and a world of sacrifice in which we all are gonna have to die plus nothing lasts in life - so that´s why we gotta grasp our lives and not be acting like we know there´s an afterlife right my friend - but we might live life again cause for every life that ends a new life begins I look out the window and I see the lights again
as the hourglass measures time in sand we keep it moving and forever do or die my man we on a ride that spans through the wildest lands ain´t no end to the treasures we can find my man ans as both space and time expands we keep it moving and forever do or die my man it´s the future of these babies now that lies in our hands ain´t no end to the treasures they can find my man
if you catch me in an absent state it might be that I´m recollecting notions that I stashed away and as people pass by in a haste it seems like I stood in the same spot since the daylight break it´s like knock knock nobody´s home but no this head computes like nobody´s dome it happens all the time I get stuck in a daydream or else the mundaniety would drive me crazy it´s a cruise among the clouds it´s a walk in the dark it´s a picture perfect painting snap shot in the dark and I never ever wanna depart back to earth when I look into your eyes I see the pain and the hurt cause a piece of you died when you gave up your dreams kid you should have packed your bags while you were able to leave and at times it just feels like this town will drag you down and at times it just lingers around like it´s tangible what animal is this I behold I wouldn´t know is it the hope and the fear of both young and the old the people that I meet they seem cold at a glance it could take more than you think to get to know if a man got an ounce of compassion left behind his cast mask cause that plain old kindness is just a thing of the past so I dwell on memories and just cling to the past singing song of hapiness until it all fades to black
