"Reverse" lyrics

I'm only here to kill my own confusion
I found a backdoor but no solution
Lying here while the sands fall down
Won't heal my hands right now or their blue contusions
I'm on a hell-bound elevator
When I got on I never planned for it to be this way
I burnt out the white hot flame inside me
Now my skin is scorched to ashes
And I'm burning in the flame

I wish I could reverse, reverse
And stop the hour glass
Because the earth is spinning round' the sun too fast
A dead end awaits this pointless track
I'm thinking I might get off and just turn back

I'm starting to see that the world is gonna end without me
I don't wanna let it pass me by
I don't wanna die here in this hole
I won't fade away
I'll detonate my soul

I wish I could reverse, reverse
And stop the hour glass
Because the earth is spinning round' the sun too fast
A dead end awaits this pointless track
I'm thinking I might get off and just turn back
I wish I could Reverse, Reverse
And stop the hour glass
Because the earth is spinning round' the sun too fast
A dead end awaits this pointless track
I'm thinking I might get off and just turn back

Then a fire started in the hallway
And the smoke rose to the sky
I looked inside myself and asked my ego why
If ashes turn to cities and the stars into the moon
Then why am I inside of my own mind?

I wish I could reverse, reverse
And stop the hour glass
Because the earth is spinning round' the sun too fast
A dead end awaits this pointless track
I'm thinking I might get off and just turn back
Reverse, reverse
And stop the hour glass
Because the earth is spinning round' the sun too fast
A dead end awaits this pointless track
I'm thinking I might get off and just turn back

I wish I could reverse, reverse
My time is running out
Because these words, they burn
And scorch inside my mouth
I'm mashing the buttons on the wall
I'm realizing that this car only goes down
