Try to make amends as the sand runs out Please forgive me when you're not around I see everything, I carry you around Just you know I'll never let you down But it's hard coming to terms Time ain't on our side and soon it's your turn To return to earth Amongst the dirt you'll settle, rot with the worms The last to burn, flames to ember, scatter the ashes On your deathbed just remember I'll carry you with me for life (Everyday) is just another second until you fade away (In your name) I will carry your cross, I will never stray (In my mind) I see visions of the vultures picking at your spine (And I'd try) to break the backs of god, if I could buy you time Life played you but you never settled Sacrificed it all to outrun the devil Put us out of his reach, sealed our fate If I could just ease your pain, I'd take it all away (Everyday) is just another second until you fade away (In your name) I will carry your cross, I will never stray (In my mind) I see visions of the vultures picking at your spine (And I'd try) to break the backs of god, if I could buy you time (Everyday) (Everyday)
