Hourglass Rodrigo Amarante

Hold

Let the hour of our glasses stain
Let our ashes be the same
Let a minute pose
The pendulum sway
Stay

Let a second beat in vain
Time is never up nor straight
It turns around and bites
Its tail in the end

And when you close your eyes
You're bound to look inside
To find the one
You've always claimed to miss
And of course you do

What difference does it make
Placebo charms a praise?
I know what's on my mind
Where else to draw the line?

Wait
Only 'til you're half awake
Keep your head
Your mind forsake
Take it in
A voice will lead you the way
