Life Is in an Hourglass

There's something in the way That time spreads itself out On a blanket that's all too small In this Heart-Shaped Box Are the memories we're chasing Before they take the bullet out of your skull With all these flowers in bloom You'd think that there wouldn't be any room For the nighttime to drain you of your sadness Did he ever reach nirvana Even though he didn't wanna feel it anymore Pour some gasoline in my wine glass Set fire to the night Run towards the car crash Play with your nightmares It's all a maze Life is in an hourglass Theirs might have a little less sand than mine But I don't know When planning out the universe And the gods made love We wondered if it would get us this far When the wind cried out for Mary And he begged for her grace His breath began to slow for the sake Of living a life of anguish With depression all too manic Starting a fire that refused to die There was never an experience That prepared him for this He said I don't live today Pour some gasoline in my wine glass Set fire to the night Run towards the car crash Play with your nightmares It's all a maze Life is in an hourglass Theirs might have a little less sand than mine But I don't know They tried to go to rehab But they never could see that the Tears don't dry up on their own What are we supposed to do I know you're no good but We have to try something ugly But you better not fucking drug me You're addicted to these lies That the world is paralyzed I feel sorry You could never feel happy I'm gonna Pour out the gasoline in my wine glass Throw water on the fire Run away from the car crash Fight my nightmares It's all a maze Life is in an hourglass Theirs could have a little more sand than mine I'm hoping so
