lyrics

All this time
Like sand running through
Our open palms
We fail to grasp
As we haunt for life
Beyond our reach

And still we
Choose not to believe that we are
The ones to blame
The ones who hold
Our fates in our hands
With the flowing sand

Consuming mindless worms
Feeding on fear
Crawl

This castle we’re building
This castle we hope will harbor all that
We think we are and what we’ll be
Is made of quicksand
Is made with the grains we can’t see running
Through the hourglass we can’t turn

So we keep on
Fooling our sense of what is real
And what we made up ourselves
To have something to measure, to count for In the end

And so we give ourselves away
With every hour, every blink of an eye

This tower I hide in
This tower I’ve build with all my pride is
Nothing but a pile of straws
Now I see how
It was made to collapse from the
Impact of truth

Vain drones
We waste ourselves

Keep your wealth close to heart
Let them tell what is true
Save yourself from all the pain
Of forming your own version of life
