You'll never find your sleep you are a wayward son 
You think you're on your way the journey's just begun 
We try to read the sand we try to smell the blood 
It's just in sand we write before the great big flood 

We try to find the words that will not fade away 
We're looking for the words and pray to make them stay 
The more we try we know it's just our human blood 
That wants us here to stay before the great big flood 

Take me to the roaring sea let me drown my misery 
I expose my aching soul 
Take me to the roaring sea the roaring seea the roaring 
sea 
I expose my aching soul to your skin 

There is a grain of sand it's swimming on the foam 
There's a gust of wind 
I find no peace inside I find no peace of mind 
So tell me what is left 

In sand we write... 
You are just a grain of sand so come on and take my hand 
Never let us drown 
Blow away this bleeding pain 
Tell me nothing was in vain let the water wash the stains 
away
