The sand sifting through your fingers
You feel like you're losing grip
Falling into the great unknown
But somehow there is no fear
Hope flickers in the darkness
And you finally find your way
Even as you let go of all you know
Sense and logic lose their place
But you can't seem to care
No turning back to the beginning
No guessing what's at the end
But here in this moment
There is elation...

Once contained the confusion rises
As the lies begin rising to the surface
The promises made only to be broken
And you can't breathe for the pain
Rivers of salt corrode your cheeks
The bitter gasps of your regret
Your ragged breathing as you weep
The only sounds that you are alive
And you sense the creeping change
The subtle and insidious alteration
Running seems like the only option
You only wish it was that simple...

Another secret to keep
Another vow to break
Lying alone in your bed
You stare into the darkness
Everything that's inside
Keeps you awake at night
With your eyes closed
And your spirit roaming
It's in your dreams you live
In dreams you discover
The way you have to go
The freedom you looked for

I want to flee from uncertainty
But you just won't let me go
I thought I made a choice
But you complicate me

You want me so bad it hurts
And I wish I could feel the same
But it's too late for that
I can't give what you're asking

I know you can't say goodbye
And I won't walk away
Let us linger in this facade
The only solace we have
