as the hourglass measures time in sand we keep it moving
and forever do or die my man
we on a ride that spans through the wildest lands
ain´t no end to the treasures we can find my man
the hourglass measures time in sand we keep it moving
and forever do or die my man
we on a ride that spans through the wildest lands
ain´t no end to the treasures we can find my man

the train rushes through the quiet night as tired lights
vanish in the distance like fireflies
I think to myself the way they pass by is like
time and life and thats how my mind ignites
I tell my right thumb and index they got rhymes to write
I look back out the window trying to find the lights
that inspired me - but all I really find is night
pitch black as if something was there to blind my sight
but there's a whole world out there I just can't see it now
a beatiful girl out there I just can't be with now
billions of people out there struggling and trying
hustling and buying and suffering and dying
drunk parents out there cussing and fighting
while their kids are lying listening and crying
politicians out there bluffing and lying
and people sick of this whole shit clutching the iron
a big and invisible world that be passing by
a world of love and hate and a world of sacrifice
in which we all are gonna have to die
plus nothing lasts in life - so that´s why we gotta grasp our lives
and not be acting like we know there´s an afterlife
right my friend - but we might live life again
cause for every life that ends a new life begins
I look out the window and I see the lights again
(hook)
as the hourglass measures time in sand we keep it moving
and forever do or die my man
we on a ride that spans through the wildest lands
ain´t no end to the treasures we can find my man
ans as both space and time expands we keep it moving
and forever do or die my man
it´s the future of these babies now that lies in our hands
ain´t no end to the treasures they can find my man

if you catch me in an absent state
it might be that I´m recollecting notions that I stashed away
and as people pass by in a haste
it seems like I stood in the same spot since the daylight break
it´s like knock knock nobody´s home but no
this head computes like nobody´s dome
it happens all the time I get stuck in a daydream
or else the mundaniety would drive me crazy
it´s a cruise among the clouds it´s a walk in the dark
it´s a picture perfect painting snap shot in the dark
and I never ever wanna depart back to earth
when I look into your eyes I see the pain and the hurt
cause a piece of you died when you gave up your dreams
kid you should have packed your bags while you were able to leave
and at times it just feels like this town will drag you down
and at times it just lingers around like it´s tangible
what animal is this I behold I wouldn´t know
is it the hope and the fear of both young and the old
the people that I meet they seem cold at a glance
it could take more than you think to get to know if a man
got an ounce of compassion left behind his cast mask
cause that plain old kindness is just a thing of the past
so I dwell on memories and just cling to the past
singing song of hapiness until it all fades to black
