Shifting Sands

This stand
Will last
the test
of time
But underneath
These sands
I cannot
Shine

Only this stand will last the test of time
But underneath these sands, I cannot shine
These shifting sands keep me from staying inline
These shifting sands keep me from what I seek to find
So watch these shifting sands end up burying me
Watch these shifting sands fly with the breeze
Watch these shifting sands catch my breath heavily
Watch these shifting sands be the death of me

These sands of time fly with the breeze
These sands breathe life, longevity
Watch these sands of time bury me
Watch these shifting sands shift beneath my feet

Watch this ground open up, make this earth shake
Watch these shifting sands shift this world out of place
Watch this world break down from this earthquake
Watch these shifting sands wipe me off the face of this earth

I don't slip a little
These shiftings sands are unavoidable
From these changing tides, I just slide a little
This change of pace is inevitable

From these shifting sands come these times and pain
From these shifting sands come desire and change
These times don't always change from the night and day
Unlike the rain, these sands can never go away

Only this stand will last the test of time
But underneath these sands, I cannot shine
These shifting sands keep me from staying inline
These shifting sands keep me from what I seek to find
So watch these shifting sands end up burying me
Watch these shifting sands fly with the breeze
Watch these shifting sands catch my breath heavily
Watch these shifting sands be the death of me

Watch this ground shake
Watch this world crumble
Watch this ground collapse
Watch this world trap me within

Watch these shifting lines
Watch these changing tides
Watch this world break down
Watch this world fall to sin

It's been too long, I can't escape this place
I'm buried beneath the ground, what's above isn't safe
But when I rise, I will shine
What I seek I'll find, from these sands I'll change

I walk these sands to find my ground, my place
But these sands shift too quick, I can't find my way
I can't live like this, this is my life, I cannot stay
I won't let the sand weigh me down or blind my face

But as these sands shift, even the mountains crumble
I feel like I can't escape, so watch me get buried under
These times, these troubles; all weighing down on me
These sands shape me, break me, yet it's killing me

When I walk these sands, I move forward but get buried deeper
When I walk these sands, no one can stop me
When I walk these sands, I feel like I'm drifting away
When I walk these sands, this path shifts a part of me

When I walk these sands, I'll change by the next day
I know tomorrow will soon be today
Cause these sands shape my story
But I feel the sands burying me

Only this stand will last the test of time
But underneath these sands, I cannot shine
These shifting sands keep me from staying inline
These shifting sands keep me from what I seek to find
So watch these shifting sands end up burying me
Watch these shifting sands fly with the breeze
Watch these shifting sands catch my breath heavily
Watch these shifting sands be the death of me

This stand
Will last
the test
of time
But underneath
These sands
I cannot
Shine
