Lines in the Sand |
[Verse 1] |
Sometimes, for a moment of bliss |
And the passion, we're craving |
There's a message we miss |
Sometimes when the spirits left alone |
We must believe in something |
To find if we've grown |
[Bridge] |
Tragic reflex, shattered calm |
Static progress, senses gone |
Numb awareness, final psalm |
[Chorus] |
Swept away with the tide |
Through the holes in my hands |
Crown of thorns at my side |
Drawing lines in the sand |
[Verse 2] |
Sometimes, if you're perfectly still |
You can hear the virgin weeping |
For the savior of your will |
Sometimes, your castles in the air |
And the fantasies you're seeking |
Are the crosses you bear |
[Bridge] |
Sacred conflict, blessed prize |
Weeping crosses, stainless eyes |
Desperate addict, faith disguised |
[Chorus] |
Swept away with the tide |
Through the holes in my hands |
Crown of thorns at my side |
Drawing lines in the sand |
[Guitar Solo] |
[Verse 3] |
We fabricate our demons |
Invite them into our homes |
Have supper with the aliens |
And fight the war alone |
We conjure up our skeletons |
Enlist the den of thieves |
Frightened from our closets |
Then sewn upon our sleeves |
In the stream of consciousness |
There is a river crying |
Living comes much easier |
Once we admit we're dying |
[Verse 4] |
Sometimes, in the wreckage of our wake |
There's a bitterness we harbor |
And hate for hatred's sake |
Sometime we dig an early grave |
And crucify our instincts |
For the hope we couldn't save |
Sometimes a view from sinless eyes |
Centers our perspective |
And pacifies our cries |
Sometimes the anguish we survive |
And the mysteries we nurture |
Are the fabrics of our lives |
[Chorus] |
Swept away with the tide |
Through the holes in my hands |
Crown of thorns at my side |
Drawing lines in the sand |
