Akron/Family - Sand Time Lyrics

SAND TIME

Wash off my hands, wash my head
Watch these plans unfold instead
Watch these walls turn to sand
Hold up my hands, hold up my head
Towards the sky, away from death
Towards the sky, away from land
We can’t hide
from the earth and time
Living grounded lives
Live in sky’s a lie
(well)You may borrow money but
You can’t borrow time
I heard it somewhere said
Or something I once read
Sometimes you are living but
You’re better off dead
(well) You can borrow money but
You can’t borrow time
I look at these hands and look from my head
See all the plans I left in my stead
See all the things I want that I’ve had
these things won’t all stop just cuz I’m suddenly dead
Fall to me knees but land on my hands
One it is raised and one’s dug in the sand
Can’t dig the air like you dig the land
Can’t see the sky when you’ve lost your head
