Inside the hourgla** time is tumbling
Inside the hourgla** rages a sandstorm
How come we didn't see the dust arise
How did we survive through turbid skies
In the looking-gla** space is speeding
The looking-gla** reflects a time-lapse
Why didn't we rewind to erase the pain
How did we walk through broken frames
How many nights do we have to stay here
And how many times do we have to try
Our time's like a burning candle
When it flickers in the dark
We're trying to catch a spark
We're still trying to brighten the flame
How many nights do we have to stay here
And how many times do we have to try
How many nights do we have to stay here
And how many times do we have to try and try
Fighting back the tears in our eyes
As we're finding out there's nowhere to hide
Hey, didn't we already think so
It's okay, we must try to let go
