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.)
