In the Sand Lyrics

The earth, it raised you

And cursed you alike

Still you found its heartbeat

Soft glow underneath

The fire, it found you

You ran free on the plains

Trampled the fossils

Lived the stories of old

The quake, it took you

Left a crater in your chest

Turned your wine back to water

Put a hole in your head

The more you invested

The more you got burned

"Stay the course," they told you

But, you couldn't find even ground

Even ground

The colors are warped

In the lenses you wear

You close your eyes

And disappear

The world is gone

No one can find you

Do whatever you want

Nothing matters anymore

Oh, the mystery

In the way the roots speak

It's been centuries

And you barely see

You know the questions

Like the back of your hand

But, all the answers

They're lost in the sand
