I wish I was poetic So I could write a better song To convey what's in my genetics But I keep going the wrong way I can be so pathetic and apathetic It's hypothetic So call the paramedics (ayy, a-ayy) I'm hallucinogenic, yeah (ayy, a-ayy) Ooh I don't understand I don't understand Hourglass sand Slippin' through my hand (ugh) Tell me, anyone What is it I've done? It doesn't matter, doesn't matter (uh-huh) I don't understand (oh) I don't understand Hourglass sand Slippin' through my hand So tell me, anyone What is it I've done? It doesn't matter I wish I was poetic Don't know what to say I'm always, always in my way Weighed down without a reason I need a happy place (ah) But this isn't paint that I won't replace (ah) And I gotta break up from this rat race Don't worry 'bout me right tonight I would stop runnin' with it Wait a minute I don't understand I don't understand Hourglass sand Slippin' through my hand (ugh) Tell me, anyone What is it I've done? It doesn't matter, doesn't matter (uh-huh) I don't understand I don't understand Hourglass sand Is slippin' through my hand (ugh) So tell me, anyone What have I done It doesn't matter, doesn't matter Uh, uh-oh-oh-oh Yea-ah, ah-eah, ah-eah Just another thought to throw away Just another thought to throw away In the consternation I'll look at the constellations To avoid all the constant fiction Mental, emotional competition Just another thought to throw away (wait) I don't understand (hey) I don't understand (ayy) Hourglass sand (ayy) Slippin' through my hand (uh) So tell me, anyone (uh) What is it I've done? (uh) It doesn't matter, doesn't matter (uh-uh-uh-uh) I don't understand I don't understand Hourglass sand Is slippin' through my hand So tell me, anyone What have I done? It doesn't matter, doesn't matter Doesn't matter (Just another thought to throw away) (Just another thought to throw away) (uh-huh)
