Beyond the Wash - Sand Lyrics

Swam an hour in water, float until my body reached the clay
Still can't recall, all the water had to say
Spent an hour in Sand, not a word said she
But oh, the burn, the break, the boil, when the sand covered me

Say it again, say it again, don't make me say it back
Just say it again
Let's not call the system broke
While forced into a layby buried in smoke
Its not when, its not when, the deluge comes it caves in
It creeps under your floor, between your eyes, behind all thoughts and in plain sight

When my demons walk into the light, they will come holding hands, five strokes past midnight
The rivers bones, tear-choked and sublime

Say it again, say it again, don't make me take it back
Just say it again
I said, winding down to the end of the rope, I got another steel cap
In my mind set to choke
Spent an hour in sand, no word said she
But oh the burn the break the boil, when the sand covered me, when the sand covered me

I saw my demons walk into light, they came holding hands five strokes past midnight
The rivers bones, tear-choked and sublime

When they say its not wrong its just right, gently recall, while under the lights
The rivers bones, all heals given time
