Black Sands Lyrics

Darkness come
Tuck me in for the night
Paint pictures in my head
Of the daylight burning bright

Darkness come
Leave me dying in the sheets
All the fears and the faults
Of the day come washing over me

Darkness come
I've lost control of the day
I run 100 miles
To find another 100 right in the way

(chorus)
Black sands
Homeland
Mountains
They all turned to dust
I've got this fire
But I'd forgotten how it burns
And I don't wanna be waiting on better days to come… Black sands

I woke up in a barren land
And I was broken and afraid
I heard “The things in life you want come hard
But the choice is yours to leave or stay.”

But I don't wanna fall asleep again
And I don't wanna fall asleep

Black sands
Homeland
Mountains
They all turned to dust
I've got this fire
I'd forgotten how it burns
And I don't wanna be waiting on better days to come…
Black sands

(I don't wanna fall asleep again
Holding to what could have been.)
