Shallow Like Sand Songtext
von Skycamefalling

Trees fall like
Iron
On their way
Down

We bury our hands
In their hearts
And waste away
Again

Because I have tried
To turn words to stone
Tried to fight the day
With my eyes closed
Cut away at questions
Until my tongue bled
Held in answers
Until I lost my breath


Sink in
Shallow like sand
Sink in
Shallow like sand

I will not
Wear this blood on my hands
So shake that halo
From your head
Because
We′ve been down this road
Grasped at all
The same straws

Sink in
Shallow like sand
Sink in
Shallow like sand

Eyes
That catch the light
And burn up
Our insides


Eyes
That catch the light
And burn up
Our insides

These butterflies
With wings of glass
That shatter
Mid air

I'm
I′m afraid that
This fever has gotten to us
Again

These butterflies
With wings of glass
That shatter
Mid air

I'm
I'm afraid that
This fever has gotten to us
Again

Because I have tried
To turn words to stone
Tried to fight the day
With my eyes closed
Cut away at questions
Until my tongue bled
Held in answers
Until I lost my breath

Sink in
Shallow like sand
Sink in
Shallow like sand

Your splintered words
Have gouged my soul
Your splintered words
Have gouged my soul
