They were cashing me out, you said
You’d say I wouldn’t know when
It’s slower, maybe, for someone
Who’d seen their own death at the door
All these things that I’ve done, for what
They’re there and then they’re gone, so
Now, sandcastles, these things they are
I've lost them to the infinite wave
Lost loves, oh there’s nothing
Gone riches, all for nothing
All ashes; burned away
Earth’s promise, all decayed
Yet I want, yet I call
Oh, I’ve latched onto faith, I set
My mind on other things now
I’ve watched my world fall apart
I see only things that are new
