Trey Anastasio - Sand lyrics

If you can heal the symptoms But not affect the cause It's quite a bit like trying to heal A gunshot wound with gauze If you instead attempt to wrest The pistol from the hand Then I would not be able to Equate my life with sand Flowing through the hourgla** Pushing through the funnel Turn once more in racing All your siblings for the tunnel Slide and let the silicone Embrace you as you fall Then bounce and land and let your brothers Crush you to the wall I would choose my own religion Worship my own spirit But if he ever preached to me I wouldn't want to hear it I'd drop him, a forgotten God Languishing in shame And then if I hit stormy seas I'd have myself to blame If you can heal the symptoms But not affect the cause You can heal the symptoms If you can heal the symptoms Not affect the cause If you can heal the symptoms If you can heal the symptoms Not affect the cause If you can heal the symptoms If you can heal the symptoms But not affect the cause If you can heal the symptoms
