Grains of Sand

Grains of Sand
I keep waiting for these days to pass by
but it doesn't seem like it’s ever gonna come
you say it’s only grains of sand

I wait it out but my mind still feels so dry
my mother said that these seeds are bound to die
if i don't make it in time
Is it you that’s holding me back?
taking all there is and leaving me to dry
Is it you that’s getting in my head?
taking everything and leaving me for dead
I don’t want to keep it low
I can’t let it dry anymore
you say it’s only grains of sand
just a burden in my hand
You didn’t shoot to kill this time
but you've wounded me enough to fool my mind
You got inside and turned it around
buried my thoughts so they wouldn't be found
I don’t want to keep it low
I can’t let it dry anymore
you say it’s only grains of sand
just a burden in my hand
[SPOKEN:]
I’ve been underestimated, I’ve been fed lies. I’ve been told I'm worth nothing and I’ve been driven mad. I’ve been told to wait, I’ve been told to go now. All this time I've been empty,
I didn't know how it feels like to be anything but numb.

I don’t want to keep it low
