Lyrics Hourglass - Adler

Hourglass

When I asked you to kill me — I meant it
I don’t mean to startle;
but I wished for the end
To be or not to be
I think I’ve had enough of the conflict
The one that lives and breathes is taking control of me
To the point I lose sight of when I was happy
When you lose hope and then your spirit is broken —
The mind tries to find some way to end the grief
But don’t give up
It’s not over yet
You know you’re still in the fight for your life
Give it everything you’ve got
Fight for your life.
Give it everything you’ve got
What do you have to lose?
Just fight
Give it everything you’ve got
I awoke from my slumber to the sound of screams
All I kept thinking was «Oh, God.
Please kill me.»
Trial and error
More like trial by fire
I lost my mind
I lost myself tryin' to find it
When I did — I’m reminded why I let it go
Stuck in your head is no place to call home
Now I’m taking back control — now I’m taking back my life
I think I’ve had enough
I’m ready to put up a fight
Just don’t give up
It’s not over yet
You know you’re still in the fight for your life
Give it everything you’ve got
Fight for your life.
Give it everything you’ve got
I met The Devil and He was me
Locked away in the dark parts of my mind
I shook his hand and said, «So glad we could meet.»
You’ve gotta go — You’ve gotta leave
I finally see now.
I’m free
Fight for your life
Give it everything you’ve got
Fight for your life.
Give it everything you’ve got
What do you have to lose?
Just fight.
Give it everything you’ve got
Fight for your life
Give it everything you’ve got
