The Nameless Hour

THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Clock hands freeze at three thirty-three
Reality grows thin for me
I walk the halls where dying lay
To steal their dreams before the day
Silver threads from sleeping minds
Pulled like silk as life unwinds
Each vision worth a decade more
Of hollow life to hoard and store

[Pre-Chorus]
Between the seconds, there I stand
With needle, thread, and steady hand

[Chorus]
In the nameless hour I weave
False forevers to believe
Stolen dreams and borrowed time
Spinning out this curse of mine
One more year, one more day
But the price gets harder to pay

[Verse 2]
Children dream of summer skies
I take them for my disguise
Lovers dream of one more dance
I wear their lost romance
The dying dream of morning light
I trap it in my bottles tight
Mix them in my cauldron deep
Where stolen futures slowly steep

[Pre-Chorus]
The clock still holds at three thirty-three
Time itself bends knee to me

[Chorus]
In the nameless hour I weave
False forevers to believe
Stolen dreams and borrowed time
Spinning out this curse of mine
One more year, one more day
But the price gets harder to pay

[Bridge]
Sometimes I catch my reflection's eye
See the dreams of others floating by
A patchwork soul of stolen scenes
Forgetting what my own life means

[Verse 3]
Tonight I find a child who dreams
Of growing old by quiet streams
My shaking hands can't pull the thread
Perhaps it's time I dreamed instead

[Final Chorus]
In the nameless hour I see
What this endless thirst made me
All these dreams I've stolen away
Can't bring back my yesterday
Let the clock hands move along
I'll return where I belong

[Outro]
3:34 arrives at last
The nameless hour finally passed
In someone else's dream I fade
Another ghost that time has made
