The stars are standing at attention, lights are paying all their dues
The night is all wide open, and everything is new
I am taking what is given in this illuminated gaze
Split the curtain that has hidden, break the fog that hides the day
And time it ticks with no intention, marching seconds as they go
You've been searching for salvation, throwing rocks at all the windows
The clock has bruised and it has battered, so this is how you ache
You split the curtain that has hidden, break the fog that hides the day
Everything changes so fast
Quick blink, a flick of wrist, it's pa**ed
The hourgla** has cracked again
And it's spilling sand
