Blurred out by the background noise In a downpour of strange math With a hesitant mind i get lost Sweet tongue and shoe-shined eyes She's a stranger in new clothes With a whispering mind she gets lost Smell the smoke and i brace for the crash The thunder comes and i wait for the flash The time runs out but she's turning the sand to glass Turning the sand to glass Paid off by the buried stone In a windstorm of loose change With a criminal mind i get lost Hotel in the tv shine She's a stranger to bad news She's got half a mind to get lost Smell the smoke and i brace for the crash The thunder comes and i wait for the flash The time runs out but she's turning the sand to glass Turning the sand to glass An anchor to the wind A nail into the skin I know without you here I'd never see the world so clear Blurred out by the background noise In a downpour of strange math With a hesitant mind i get lost Smell the smoke and i brace for the crash The thunder comes and i wait for the flash The time runs out but she's turning the sand to glass Turning the sand to glass To be where you want to go You have to start it again
