I don't come into this blindly, you know I've been warned
I ignored the advice just to wait out the storm
Get busy take cover on much higher ground

I know that what's up there is the view of the drowned

I'm crossed off your list, you don't want me to call

It's all I can do to walk and not crawl
I know I can't wrest you from your hiding place
I may forget your name but I won't forget your face


I can't wait out the storm, can't do nothing at all
I can't wait out the storm


I feel the sand sting
What flies in on storm's wing?


Night falls we retreat from the shadows outside
To the clutter of objects that fill up our lives

What's missing is ghostly and hangs in the air
I don't know where I'm going but I know it's not here


Earth trembles the burrows when thunder strikes close
We float on the surface we stay where we hope
Divided we conquer, united we fall

It's all I can do to do nothing at all

I can't wait out the storm, can't do nothing at all

I can't wait out the storm

I feel the sand sting

What flies in on storm's wing?
I feel the sand sting
I live with what flies bring
