lyrics

Choose, please make your choice today,
Pray for a day, when light will come,
Will come your way, through the stagnant dark.

Choose, please choose your life today,
Is there a way, abandon this,
Grey dismal day, end the putrid dark.

Choose, please choose your fate today,
To ship away, to disappear,
Slowly decay, lose the memory.

Choose, please make your choice today,
It's cast aside, it's cracking through,
Through the seething cold, empty grains of sand.
(Make your choice, make it now)

Little mistakes will be my downfall,
Little fears will be my undoing,
The best of intentions rot slowly away,
Stand naked revealing an internal decay,
The conscious side glances that eclipse my eyes,
Stay staring broadcasting a time I despise,
Waiting is something that age can't afford,
Cracks start to appear and stick out like a broken chord.

(Empty circles, grains of sand)

Off-centre circles will be my downfall,
No excuse will be my undoing,
The best expectations swirl down the drain,
Leaving a null void, a bruiseless sprain,
The logging of high points cower in the low,
A shed like dissection against buildings that grow,
Nostalgia is something that I can't afford,
Distortion appears and offends like a broken chord.
(Empty circles, grains of sand)

(Empty circles, grains of sand)
