Eddie Vedder - Out of Sand lyrics

[Verse 1] Can't climb to heaven on the cross One big 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 [Chorus] Now it's gone, gone And I am who I am Who I was I will never be again Running out of sand [Verse 2] I stare at my reflection to the bone Blurred eyes look back at me Full of blank sympathy So, so close Right roads not taken, the future's forsaken Dropped like a fossil in stone [Chorus] Now it's gone, gone And I am who I am Who I was I will never come again Running out of sand [Verse 3] 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 around somewhere with much better lives And God is our witness but he won't testify [Chorus] 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
