Rodrigo Amarante "Hourglass" lyrics

Hourglass

Hold

Let the hour of our glasses stainLet our ashes be the sameLet a minute poseThe pendulum swayStay

Let a second beat in vainTime is never up nor straightIt turns around and bitesIts tail in the end

And when you close your eyesYou're bound to look insideTo find the oneYou've always claimed to missAnd of course you do

What difference does it makePlacebo charms a praise?I know what's on my mindWhere else to draw the line?

WaitOnly 'til you're half awakeKeep your headYour mind forsakeTake it inA voice will lead you the way

And let goOf all the words you knowAn empty fall will fade them slowWhen space unfoldsThe void aheadIs inside of you

When I count to threeYou're back to where we meetYou'll be the one you'veAlways claimed to seeAnd of course you do

What difference does it makePlacebo charms a praise?I know what's on my mindWhere else to draw the line?What difference does it makeA spell a pill a praise?You know what's on your mindWho else will draw the line?
