sandflies all over me
crystalising the dust that i'm breathing
i won't see forever
i won't see what i've been now
daylight that beckons me
i draw the shade drawing closer to sleep
and i'm a lot like you are
i'm a lot like you are now
'cause i've been
digging into the sand
and i'll never understand
i've been running so high
never thought i could die
and i would live the longest
the longest of our lives
sandflies all over me
suffocating the ones that i needed
and i won't see before you
i won't see before you now
cause i've been
digging into the sand
and i'll never understand
i've been running so high
never thought i could die
and i would live the longest 'cause
i've been digging into the sand
and i'll never understand
wont you take the weight off of my hands.
