Set It Straight Hourglass Lyrics

The bottom of this hourglass is full,
and it's way to heavy to turn around.
There's never enough time and I'm always f___ing late.
I can't keep up with this rat race.
So now I'm trapped... another dead end.
I need more time.

So caught up (... just catch up) in living I forget that I'm alive,
forget I have a name (they're all the same... they're all the same).
And then it hits me, and it makes me f___ing sit.
It's all true and all I want are lies.

So today I'm gonna rise up with sun,
complete the goals I've set
and move on to the next.
I'm so young there's no reason to run.
But everyday, this nine to five
destroys all my thoughts.
This lake I've been swimming in is stagnant.

I'm fishing for disaster, and I'm the f___ing bait.
My hard work means nothing to them,
my efforts gone to waste.
And I'm so sick, you should be too;
Our blood and our sweat means more than this paycheck.
