sandflies all over me

crystalising the dust that i'm breathing

i won't see forever

i won't see what i've been now

daylight that beckons me

i draw the shade drawing closer to sleep

and i'm a lot like you are

i'm a lot like you are now

'cause i've been

digging into the sand

and i'll never understand

i've been running so high

never thought i could die

and i would live the longest

the longest of our lives

sandflies all over me

suffocating the ones that i needed

and i won't see before you

i won't see before you now

cause i've been

digging into the sand

and i'll never understand

i've been running so high

never thought i could die

and i would live the longest 'cause

i've been digging into the sand

and i'll never understand

wont you take the weight off of my hands.
