[Verse 1]
Can't climb to heaven on the cross
One big promise drained the blood from my heart
Came a message in the dark
Offered the hand of a disembodied man
While I still had the chance
[Chorus]
Now it's gone, gone
And I am who I am
Who I was I will never be again
Running out of sand
[Verse 2]
I stare at my reflection to the bone
Blurred eyes look back at me
Full of blank sympathy
So, so close
Right roads not taken, the future's forsaken
Dropped like a fossil in stone
[Chorus]
Now it's gone, gone
And I am who I am
Who I was I will never come again
Running out of sand
[Verse 3]
A drunk octopus wants to fight
Fearful of dreams, there'll be no sleep tonight
Fine at dinner, dead by dessert
Victim or witness, we're gonna get hurt
A fragile existence, with echoes of wrath
I can't stop the bleeding nor the tears from thine eye
There's another around somewhere with much better lives
And God is our witness but he won't testify
[Chorus]
Oh now it's gone, gone
And I am who I am
Who I could've been I'll never have the chance
Running out of sand
