[Instrumental Intro – cinematic pads, ticking clocks, vocal runs]
(soft echo)
Ahh-yeahhh...
Time’s running…
Oohhh… mmm…
---
[Verse 1]
Saw a sandtimer in my hand
Didn’t know how much time I had
Lines of light across the floor
Seconds I can’t fight no more
I see flashes in my eyes
Every win and every lie
How long did I make it last?
Will I fade just like the past?
---
[Pre-Chorus – epic lift with orchestral build-up]
Oh-ohhh, it's climbing through my chest
Oh-ohhh, can’t slow what happens next
Feels like I’m caught in a wave
Rising up, I can’t be saved
I hear the ticking through the air
Can’t go back, I’m almost there
---
[Chorus – floating, banger, cinematic explosion]
I’m flying through my time
Sand falling in a line
The clock won’t break or bend
But I won’t die the same
This body, heart, and soul
Are burning through the cold
I’m more than just a flame
I’m more than just a name
I’m dancing with my fate
Inside the glass I break
No fear of what I see
The end looks back at me
This timer’s not a curse
It shows me what I’m worth
I'm weightless in the fire
Alive inside the wire
---
[Verse 2]
Every grain is like a choice
Every scream without a voice
All the chances that I lost
Now I see what they all cost
But I’m not here just to fall
I was made to take it all
If this is my final run
Let it shine like rising sun
---
[Pre-Chorus 2 – louder, rising orchestration]
Oh-ohhh, it’s pulling from the sky
Oh-ohhh, I feel like I could die
But something’s waking inside
Like a fire I can’t hide
Let the countdown take control
I was born to break the mold
---
[Final Chorus – heavier drop, stacked harmonies]
I’m flying through my time
Sand falling in a line
The clock won’t break or bend
But I won’t die the same
This body, heart, and soul
Are burning through the cold
I’m more than just a flame
I’m more than just a name
I’m dancing with my fate
Inside the glass I break
No fear of what I see
The end looks back at me
This timer’s not a curse
It shows me what I’m worth
I'm weightless in the fire
Alive inside the wire
---
[Bridge / Outro – ticking slows, soft echo]
Ooh... I see it clear now
Tick by tick, breath by breath...
I was never meant to fade...
I was built to outlast time
