here i stand like an hourglass i sift through time strand by strand try to find a way to just get by i long to run escape the grind this quicksand has got me reaching for the line so take my hand take my life don t tell me it s better on the other side cause we build up our lost dreams as we etch them into life it s as fragile as it seems like sandcastles against the tide like sandcastles against the tide keep away from the moments that i can t rewind day by day searching for a little peace of mind  i long to run escape the grind this quicksand has got me reaching for the line so take my hand take my life don t tell me it s better on the other side cause we build up our lost dreams as we etch them into life it s as fragile as it seems like sandcastles against the tide like sandcastles against the tide like sandcastles against the tide like sandcastles like sandcastles
