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)
