Stranger In Sand

I turned down my mind today
Speaking in shades of gray
I followed a man of no expression
I heard what he had to say
I saw the devils word
Some through the beaks of birds
The road was a winding silent serpent
Sweetest sound I ever heard
Time is moving slowly, thickening the sand
There must be a cure, it’s out here, I’m sure
Does anybody understand?
Time is yours if you want it, kill it
Spin it in the sand
You think it’s just 'cause you bought it
But it’s slipping from your hand
Well, life is made of a million moments
Catch one if you can
You try so hard but you never own it
Stranger in the sand
I saw the ragged thief
The rock he was underneath
He spoke to the world of consequences
Crowds cried in disbelief
Who has the right to sing?
Every living thing
There are no words a ghost may tell to
Eliminate your suffering
Time is moving slowly, thickening the sand
There must be a cure, it’s out here, I’m sure
Does anybody understand?
What do you think about it now?
What do you think about it now?
What do you think about it now?
What do you think about it now, now?
I turned down my mind today
