out of sand
Can't climb to heaven on the cross One liar's promise drained the blood from my heart Came a message in the dark Offered the hand of a disembodied man While I still had the chance [Chorus] Now it's gone, gone And I am who I am Who I was I will never be again Running out of sand I stare at my reflection to the bone Blurred eyes look back at me Full of blame and sympathy So, so close Right roads not taken, the future's forsaken Dropped like a fossil or stone [Chorus] Now it's gone, gone And I am who I am Who I was I will never come again Running out of sand A drunk octopus wants to fight Fearful of dreams, there'll be no sleep tonight Fine at dinner, dead by dessert Victim or witness, we're gonna get hurt A fragile existence with echoes of wrath I can't stop the bleeding nor the tears from thine eye There's another us around somewhere with much better lives With God as our witness but he won't testify [Chorus] Oh now it's gone, gone And I am who I am Who I was I'll never have the chance Running out of sand Running out of sand Running out of sand
