Lyrics

I've watched a lot of things crumble in my hands, falling through my fingers like grains of sand.

I've experienced the collapse of many things in my grasp, slipping away like grains of sand.

When the hourglass tips over on its side, does it create infinite moments or leave us trapped in time?

When the hourglass is overturned, does it create endless moments or trap us in time?


Loath, disdain, pity, regret consume me and I shut down

Feelings of intense dislike, scorn, sorrow, and remorse overwhelm me, causing a shutdown.

Dissolving internally with no silver linings to any clouds

Internally disintegrating without any positive aspects amidst difficulties.


I disassociate with everything I know

I disconnect from everything familiar.

Drowning out, losing control.

Struggling to maintain control, feeling overwhelmed.

My detachment permeates to everything I know

My detachment extends to all aspects of my life.

Refill the sands and balance the scales, or let me go

Requesting a renewal of stability and equilibrium or release from the situation.


I'm becoming everything that I defied

Transforming into what I resisted or opposed.

Withdrawn emotions, iv built a shell and I live inside

Suppressing emotions, constructing a protective shell to live within.

I disassociate with everything I know

Disconnecting from familiar elements again.

Drowning out, losing control

Overwhelmed, losing control.

My detachment permeates to everything I know

Detachment affecting all aspects of life.

Drowning out, losing control (losing control)

Reiteration of feeling overwhelmed and losing control.

I'm becoming everything I defied

Transforming into what was resisted or opposed.


Slowly withering, there seems to be no way out

Gradually deteriorating, feeling trapped with no apparent solution.


Refill the sands, balance the scales, or let me go

Requesting a restoration of stability or release from the situation.


Loath, disdain, pity, regret consume me and I shut down

Reiteration of intense negative emotions leading to a shutdown.

(I'm shutting down) dissolving withering with no silver linings to any fucking clouds

Intensifying dissolution with no positive aspects amidst challenges.


I disassociate with everything I know. Drowning out, losing control

Continued disconnection from everything familiar, amplifying feelings of being overwhelmed.

My detachment permeates to everything I know. And I'm drowning out, losing control

Persistent detachment affecting all aspects of life, accompanied by a sense of losing control.

Loosing control

Reiteration of losing control, emphasizing the intensity of the experience.
