[Chorus]

Watch the hourglass drain itself, watch the smiles grow forced
In retrospect, nothing turned out the way I thought; all is lost

I guess I'm overly philosophical, but that's just my cross
'cause every time I stop to watch the present I see the corpse, decayed, of what once was
Time's our guide on the path of life, and it's leading us astray as the blood turns cold

[Chorus:] all love lost

We all feed on expectation and dreams; damn whoever gets in the way
The loved one today might be the scapegoat to be;
Fuck or get fucked-it's always been that way

[Chorus:] all is lost

Sweet promises whispered by lovers at night, given with passion before
Say them again, look into my eyes and tell me- who's the whore?

The deceiver will think himself deceived
Forming a truth of his own, as they always do
It's only a matter of what you want to believe,
But in the end we've got nothing-Everything's lost
Time's our guide on the path of life, and it's leading us astray
as the blood turns cold Everything's lost
