[Verse 1]
Am
I've watched the whole world drowning in chemicals
              Em
Dissociative, but it takes its toll
Am
Can I surpass time, or would I start to rust?
              F      G
Depreciating, collecting dust
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am
And I fear myself as I fall away
                  C        D
In a cold deluded sense of fate
Am
When the nightmares come, and the doubt sets in
                           C                Dm
Fill the people who break, I will not break from the day
 
[Chorus]
         Am                 C       G
It's too late to feel, I've lost my breath
         F                    C  G
With the hands of time around my neck
          Am                      C
Am I more than the pen that wrote the past?
      G F               C                 Bm4
Or am I just the sand enslaved by the hourglass?
 
[Instrumental]
|    |   Am|   F|    |   Dm|
 
[Verse 2]
Am
Will I live again, or will I fade to black?
              F              Em
Dehumanizing, when the heart attacks
Am
Will I expire before my dreams unfold?
              F                               G
But if the futures so bright, the path should glow
 
 
[Pre Chorus 1]
Am
As the walls melt
Am
and the light fades
F                Dm
I'm letting quicksand take me
Am
As the walls melt
 
and the light fades
F
I'm letting quicksand take me
 
 
[Chorus]
         Am                 C       G
It's too late to feel, I've lost my breath
         F                    C  G
With the hands of time around my neck
          Am                      C hi
Am I more than the pen that wrote the past?
      G F               C                 Bm
Or am I just the sand enslaved by the hourglass?
 
 
[Verse 3]
Am
If you look beyond the blindfold
F           Am
You'll find a whole new lifestyle
C                     Dm
What did? What might? No hope, no time
F           Am
If you look beyond the blindfold
                F
You'll find a whole
C
I'm on the edge of my seat
 
Holding out for a sign
Dm
Trying to rewrite the storyline
 
[Chorus]
        Am                 C       G
It's too late to feel, I've lost my breath
         F                    C  G
With the hands of time around my neck
          Am                      C hi
Am I more than the pen that wrote the past?
      G F               C                 Bm
Or am I just the sand enslaved by the hourglass
        Am                 C       G
It's too late to feel, I've lost my breath
         F                    C  G
With the hands of time around my neck
          Am                      C hi
Am I more than the pen that wrote the past?
      G F               C                 Bm
Or am I just the sand enslaved by the hourglass?
