​​weight of a word

[Verse 1]
It looks like I'm running out of time
So I'll set fire to my bridges and close my eyes
And bury my head in the sand
I don't care what it meant
Cos it's come to a head and I don't like
What I'm seeing unfold in front of my eyes
You let the weight of a word off of your chest
And you shook it off without a second thought
Cos you couldn't care less for another man's life

[Chorus]
And I waited there
For some semblance of a warning
That it wasn't worth the cost
I know we've gained a lot since then
But was it worth all that we lost
Looking back right through the hourglass
As the sand keeps falling down
We're growing past our youth this time
Without a clue for where we can go now

[Verse 2]
It looks like I'm running out of time
I can't control when I slip back out of line
And the cards on the table don't hold any more tricks
I guess it's back to the drawing board and it's back to that night
But I keep thinking I'm over this sleight of mind
Can't help but feel I'm above it and I'm fed up of trying
To find some sense of a normal life under this roof
Cos it fell right through while I waited there

[Chorus]
For some semblance of a warning
That it wasn't worth the cost
I know we've gained a lot since then
But was it worth all that we lost
Looking back right through the hourglass
As the sand keeps falling down
We're growing past our youth this time
Without a clue for where we can go now
