MEGA CITY FOUR : shivering sand

Shivering Sand
forget everything you think you know
and start all over again
forget everything you think you've learned
and make some room in your head
you know that I
left without saying goodbye

you know one day I was warm
and the next I was gone
now explain if you can
anyone could see
I was there
then I vanished like thin air
I let go of your hand
and I slipped beneath the shivering sand

I have lost so many friends
I could not hold on to them
when I look back I can see their waves
I knew that they
had long since forgotten my name

you know one day I was warm
and the next I was gone
now explain if you can
anyone could see
I was there
then I vanished like thin air
I let go of your hand
and I slipped beneath the shivering sand

Everybody Loves You
well I'm sure what you said was true
everybody really loves you
you don't need to be reassured
when most of us are insecure
you're so certain
you're so confident

but I'm afraid
you're really much to shallow
and you're lacking in compassion
and you won't return a fraction
of the love that you receive
and love that's unreciprocated
passes by it's sell by date
it sours and turns to poison
I'm afraid for you

there is nothing sadder to see
when love is lost so needlessly
when most of us
spend all our lives
lost and lonely
searching high and low
just to find it.

Disturbed I know what it's like to be happy
I know what it's like to be sad
I hope that I never confuse them
I love them and don't want to lose them

I don't want to die on my feet
End up like a ghost or a zombie

and in my darkest darkest dreams
I know just what it means to me

the pain and ecstasy
I need to feel them in me
it tells me I am still alive
it tells me I am still alive
it tells me I am still alive
