Facing New York

This Hourglass

Facing New York


Nothing left to lose, 
nothing left to say 
when your big break's getting away 
give me anything to love 
anything to do or i'll be no different than you 

well if you want it, you take it 
they'll never ever give it to you 

Looking for something to take me away 
running out of time and all i want is to burn this hourglass 
Looking for something i needed today 
losing my mind and all i need is to smash this hourglass 

Something's got to give 
someone's got to live 
but my future's dark as the night 
can anybody see how hard it can be 
when your switch wont turn on the light 

i stared right into the sun today 
just to feel my naked eyes burn 
but no matter how much i may tell myself 
it seems that i never will learn 

Nothing left to lose 
nothing left to say 
everything to gain...
