Shattered Hourglasses

Over here killin time

Dead clocks and

shattered hour glasses

Got me wondering where time 

goes when it passes

You know, after it dies

Probably piles up against

all them lies

and signs I missed

pissed I didn’t see the shit

sooner

Now forever seems lost

and everyone's a

loser Wheel of Fortune spin, spin, spin

Hold my bowl

I’m goin in

Ain’t no tellin'

when the bullshit’ll end

Ride the wave

Save yourself

Time is dead

Wait for help

that ain’t never comin’

Better spread them wings

and get to hummin’, little birdie

I know it’s early

but ain’t no worms left after dawn

That work’ll be worthless 

if you hesitate for too long

Everyone’s plugged in but witless

At the end of our wits wit this slick shit

Hard to see through the wool 

pulled over your eyes

This mask ain’t no disguise

It’s a prison

Want some answers?

Take a listen

Matter fact, take a look

Somewhere we fucked up

we elected a crook

and now all our souls

are there on the hook

sold to the highest bid at a bitcoin auction

Got a little too comfy; no longer an option

Follow the hate and find the Devil

in the details of the entrails of evil minds

blinded to the fact that what happened

don’t change dependin’ on how you tell or sell it

No, the truth stands for itself and finds the light

Even the blind can see, the truth don’t hide

between yo’ teeth

lies slippin’ through yo’ gap

cuz bitch, what happened is still what happened

and sooner or later you go have to answer

for the lies you spoke and your actions

Hope it was worth your soul 

have you noticed the lack of compassion

such a pity cuz now your forever is owned

redemption un-shown, contention unfolds

sacrificed the whole nation

for a pot of fool’s gold

The design was to isolate, divide, conquer, and destroy

Deprive me of my consummate conjugate

my consecrated heart as your toy

but there’s no hope in keeping what was never actually yours

Only the strong survive in the wild

but human’s ain’t beasts of burden

Just of spite, ignorance, and influence

found a best friend in Judas

but ain’t seen him in a while

maybe he’s dead

or just laid up in bed

Loose lips sink ships

lubricated

liquid courage by the bottle

Too much risk

makes no sense

intimidated a real tough pill to swallow

The number one way to unwittingly sell your soul

is take credit for work that ain’t even yours

it dips the scales of karma out of balance

phonies think they runnin’ the planet freelance

forgot there’s a higher power 

and my God is he pissed

redemption's a bitch

sealed tight with a kiss

murdered enough minutes

so I’ll leave you with this..

America 

reflects us

cuz that’s what

a mirror does

I peeked out from behind my reflection

and taught myself a little lesson

The only way out is to go in

you know, introspection

our future's memory

successive recollection
