I watched the whole world drowning in chemicals Associative but it takes its toll Can I surpass time or would I start to rust Depreciating, collecting dust And I feel myself as I fall out of way And like whole time leave its sense of fate When the nightmares come and the dawn sets in Feel the fever break I will not burn from within It's too late to feel I've lost my breath With the hands of time around my neck Am I more than a pillar of the past Or am I just a sand enslaved by the hourglass Will I live again or will I fade to black Dehumanizing with the heart attacks Will I inspire before my dreams unfold But if the future's so bright the blood should glow As the walls melt and the light fades I'm letting quicksand take me As the walls melt and the light fades I'm letting quicksand take me It's too late to feel I've lost my breath With the hands of time around my neck Am I more than a pillar of the past Or am I just a sand enslaved by the hourglass If you look beyond the blindfold You'll find that hole in my soul One peer, one mind No hope, no time If you look beyond the blindfold You'll find a hole I'm on the edge of my seat Holding out for a sign Trying to rewrite the story line (in my soul) It's too late to feel I've lost my breath With the hands of time around my neck Am I more than a pillar of the past Or am I just a sand encased in the hourglass It's too late to feel I've lost my breath Hands of time around my neck Am I just a pillar of the past Just a sand encased in the hourglass Fear is not my fate Fear is not my fate
