Bury
I bury my head in the sand
As occurrences pass me by
But the fluttering ostrich feathers around
Don't expose the fact, they belie
It's a prejudice that I hide
From a truth too heavy in hand
I'm actually searching for answers
That might hide in the sand
So I bury my head in the sand
And I keep it there for a while
At the end of the day I might understand
Why there's plenty of sand in my teeth when I smile
I search inside the swallowed pride
Eyes open wide
I'm facing reality
What is to be remains to see
I will not hide
I'm facing reality
Perhaps I'm in a stun
Escaping the nuisance call
Perhaps I'm a craven who cut and run
Avoiding the writing on the wall
But if the answer is far beyond
All we've been considering
Then I'll have to look places out of line
Unattaching the shortcoming strings
So I bury my head in the sand
And I keep it there for a while
At the end of the day I might understand
Why there's plenty of sand in my teeth when I smile
I search inside the swallowed pride
Eyes open wide
I'm facing reality
What is to be remains to see
I will not hide
I'm facing reality
I search inside the swallowed pride
Eyes open wide
I'm facing reality
What is to be remains to see
I will not hide
I'm facing reality
As occurrences pass me by
But the fluttering ostrich feathers around
Don't expose the fact, they belie
It's a prejudice that I hide
From a truth too heavy in hand
I'm actually searching for answers
That might hide in the sand
So I bury my head in the sand
And I keep it there for a while
At the end of the day I might understand
Why there's plenty of sand in my teeth when I smile
I search inside the swallowed pride
Eyes open wide
I'm facing reality
What is to be remains to see
I will not hide
I'm facing reality
Perhaps I'm in a stun
Escaping the nuisance call
Perhaps I'm a craven who cut and run
Avoiding the writing on the wall
But if the answer is far beyond
All we've been considering
Then I'll have to look places out of line
Unattaching the shortcoming strings
So I bury my head in the sand
And I keep it there for a while
At the end of the day I might understand
Why there's plenty of sand in my teeth when I smile
I search inside the swallowed pride
Eyes open wide
I'm facing reality
What is to be remains to see
I will not hide
I'm facing reality
I search inside the swallowed pride
Eyes open wide
I'm facing reality
What is to be remains to see
I will not hide
I'm facing reality
