Modern Instincts - Hourglass Lyrics




You saw me today then looked left and right
Something so different that didn't show by night
Staring at your laces you don't recognize these faces
Scraping my words off the bottom of your shoe
Into one ear and the other they come through
Some people would feel vexed but I know what happens next

You can't begin to imagine the things as they happened last night
Where saying is doing and playing is using but it still seems right
I don't know you but the question that I've gotta ask
Is this all true?

I turn the hourglass over and I start again
In time I'll see that there's no game to win
Just a hundred ways to lose, always nice to pick and choose
Confidence is arrogance, arrogance is bliss
I look in the mirror but I surely always miss
A simple rearrange or how things have so much changed
Besides the red marks on my face, the rest was pretty tame

You can't begin to imagine the things as they happened last night
Where saying is doing and playing is using but it still seems right
I don't know you but the question that I've gotta ask
Is this all true?

I saw you today but you held up the moat
Looking at me through a kaleidoscope
I saw you today but when I looked in your eyes
Nothing reflected, I was not surprised

Now that you've shown me how cruel that the world is I'll see you tonight
If there is intent then I'll leave an imprint where the sand is white
I don't know you but all I see is broken glass
Is this all true?
