Sand Colored Over

As everybody sleeps

I can't get a wink

maybe I'll dream 

when the nightmare is over

 

Every now and again 

we see the evil stare back 

but for now

(or for good)

we'll wear those

leathery blinders

 

No problem is solved

by dreaming it away

Im ready now

No stressing

or second guessing 

Cos I'm ready for truth

 

As everybody sleeps

I can't get a wink 

The sand that's in our sheets

colored over

Bleeding this culture 

if only to just wash his hands.
