Fistful Of Sand

Thrust your hand into my chest

And pull out a fistful of sand

Cast it down upon the ground

And watch as it blows away

The world keeps spinning ever-on

And dark hair turns to gray

The ticking clock cannot be stopped

And so goes another day

Falling down

Spirit broken

Hollowed out

Never to return

Dig your hand into my eyes

And pull out a fistful of sand

I can only see betrayal now

So I'm better blind

It didn't have to be this way

But I can't reclaim my yesterdays

And so I'll let the string play out

As I lie crushed by my self-doubt

Fallen down

Spirit broken

Hollowed out

Never to return

Words mean nothing

Promises but lies

And my life's hourglass

Empties out before my eyes

One life

One chance

A single invitation to the dance

Choose wise

Choose well

Good intentions pave the road to hell

Words mean nothing

Promises but lies

And my life's hourglass

Empties out before my eyes
