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 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 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 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
