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
I'm hallucinogenic, yeah

I don't understand, I don't understand
Hourglass sand slippin' through my hand
Tell me, anyone, what is it I've done?
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter
I don't understand, 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
But this isn't pain that I want replaced
And I gotta break out from this rat race
No rhyme I'll rewrite tonight
Won't stop runnin' with it, wait a minute

I don't understand, I don't understand
Hourglass sand slippin' through my hand
Tell me, anyone, what is it I've done?
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter
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

Just another thought to throw away
Just another thought to throw away

In the consternation
I look at the constellations
To avoid all the constant fiction
Mental, emotional competition
Just another thought to throw away

I don't understand, I don't understand
Hourglass sand slippin' through my hand
So tell me, anyone, what is it I've done?
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter
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)
