Queensrche — Hourglass

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Spiraling the hourglass [x3] 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 [x8]
