Out of Sand - Eddie Vedder

Written by：Eddie Vedder

Can't climb to heaven on the cross

One liar's promise drained the blood from my heart

Came a message in the dark

Offered the hand of a disembodied man

While I still had the chance

But now it's gone gone

And I am who I am

Who I was I will never be again

Running out of sand

I stare at my reflection to the bone

Blurred eyes look back at me

Full of blame and sympathy

So so close

Right roads not taken the future's forsaken

Dropped like a fossil or stone

Now it's gone gone

And I am who I am

Who I was I will never come again

Running out of sand

A drunk octopus wants to fight

Fearful of dreams there'll be no sleep tonight

Fine at dinner dead by dessert

Victim or witness we're gonna get hurt

A fragile existence with echoes of wrath

I can't stop the bleeding nor the tears from thine eye

There's another us somewhere with much better lives

With God as our witness but he won't testify

Oh now it's gone gone

And I am who I am

Who I could've been I'll never have the chance

Running out of sand

Running out of sand

Running out of sand
