Shallow Like Sand LyricsTrees fall like iron on their way down
We bury our hands in their hearts and waste away again
Because I have tried to turn words to stone
Tried to fight the day with my eyes closed
Cut away at questions 'til my tongue bled
Held in answers 'til I lost my breath
Sink in, shallow like sand
Sink in, shallow like sand
I will not wear this blood on my hands
So shake that halo from your head
Because we have been down this road before
Grasped at all the same straws
Sink in, shallow like sand
Sink in, shallow like sand
Eyes that catch the light and burn up our insides
Eyes that catch the light and burn up our insides
These butterflies with wings of glass
That shatter mid air
I'm, I'm afraid that this fever has gotten to us again
These butterflies with wings of glass
That shatter mid air
I'm, I'm afraid that this fever has gotten to us again
Because I have tried to turn words to stone
Tried to fight the day with my eyes closed
Cut away at questions 'til my tongue bled
Held in answers 'til I lost my breath
Sink in, shallow like sand
Sink in, shallow like sand
Your splintered words have gauged my soul
Your splintered words have gauged my soul
