lyrics
Another morning comes, like a fading photograph.
Snowing hour-sand, on a skipping phonograph.
Leap another groove, to a hollow rut in time.
When will I learn? That I need you by my side.
'Cause I'm down on my faith, (A sunny day,)
for waiting too long. (will come for you.)
Weighs down on my ways, (A sunny day,)
and paints them all wrong. (is coming soon.)
What I can't erase, (A sunny day.)
when everything's gone.
Drop that Hourglass.
Another twilight turns. Another number marks a year.
Desire unresolved. To hope the future's left unclear.
I'll lay them in a boat. The little bastards who haunt my mind.
Set them adrift. Before we capsize.
Now I'm down on my faith, (A sunny day,)
for waiting too long. (will come for you.)
Weighs down on my faith, (A sunny day,)
'cause maybe I'm wrong? (is coming soon.)
What I can't erase, (A sunny day.)
when everything's gone.
Drop that Hourglass.
Break that hour, Smash that hour, Drop that hourglass!
Snowing hour-sand, on a skipping phonograph.
Leap another groove, to a hollow rut in time.
When will I learn? That I need you by my side.
'Cause I'm down on my faith, (A sunny day,)
for waiting too long. (will come for you.)
Weighs down on my ways, (A sunny day,)
and paints them all wrong. (is coming soon.)
What I can't erase, (A sunny day.)
when everything's gone.
Drop that Hourglass.
Another twilight turns. Another number marks a year.
Desire unresolved. To hope the future's left unclear.
I'll lay them in a boat. The little bastards who haunt my mind.
Set them adrift. Before we capsize.
Now I'm down on my faith, (A sunny day,)
for waiting too long. (will come for you.)
Weighs down on my faith, (A sunny day,)
'cause maybe I'm wrong? (is coming soon.)
What I can't erase, (A sunny day.)
when everything's gone.
Drop that Hourglass.
Break that hour, Smash that hour, Drop that hourglass!

I wrote songs as a kid, made some oil paintings, started playing the drums, played in some bands, made some records, toured a bunch, grew a beard, writing my own songs again, much happier.
