White Sands

Buried here

Sometimes, in order to change and move on, you may have to get rid of and move on from an old part of yourself quietly lingering deep inside that no longer serves you.

 

What is underneath the dirt?

Lyrics

(Verse)

I trudge my feet along

With this weight on my shoulders

I walk and I stumble

Over logs and between boulders

The wind is in my hair

Smell of the sea floods my nose

Moon peeks through the clouds

The sand soothes between my toes

 

(Chorus)

I keep my secrets buried in the white sands

It’s finally out of my hands 

I keep my secrets buried in the white sands

You lie where it stands

 

(Verse)

There’s no one in sight

I see as I look around

I take one deep breath

And stick my shovel to the ground

A subtle scent in the air

It wafts in and out of my nose

I dismiss it and

My thoughts shift beneath my toes

 

(Chorus)

I keep my secrets buried in the white sands

It’s finally out of my hands

I keep my secrets buried in the white sands

You lie where it stands

 

(Bridge)

Why did you turn me off?

Why did you turn me away?

We could have made amends

We could let this turn away

I see you’ve made your decision

Now let me make mine

This could have ended much easier

But now I should get you off my mind

 

(Verse)

I look over the horizon

There’s a ship in the distance

I think of myself aboard

Contemplating another existence

I take one last look

And heave the shovel into the sea

My life is my own

I shall do what’s best for me
