I’ve watched the whole world drowning in chemicals
Dissociative, but it takes it’s toll
Can I surpass time, or would I start to rust?
Depreciating, collecting dust

And I fear myself as I fall away
In a cold deluded sense of fate
When the nightmares come, and the doubt sets in
Will the fever break, or will I 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 the pen that wrote the past?
Or am I just the sand enslaved by the hourglass?

Will I live again or will I fade to black?
Dehumanizing, when the heart attacks
Will I expire before my dreams unfold?
But if the futures so bright, the path should glow

As the walls melt
And the light fades
I'm letting quicksand take me

If you look beyond the blindfold
You’ll find the hole in my soul
One fear, one mind, no hope, no time
If you look beyond the blindfold
You’ll find the hole in my soul
I’m on the edge of my seat
Holding out for a sign
Trying to rewrite the storyline

It's too late to feel I've lost my breath
With the hands of time around my neck
Am I more than the pen that wrote the past?
Or am I just the sand encased in the hourglass?

Fear is not my fate
