Sands of midnight (version 2)

Verse

Fifty on the gauge, sand like a screen in my eyes

Neon cut through smoke like a blade through the night sky

Curtains of glass, they vibrate with every mile

Tires eat up concrete like it's water and fire

No reflection left where the headlights used to be

Just the hum of metal eating the city free

Pre-Chorus

How many shadows till we find what we're chasing?

Where do the streets go when the streetlights start fading?

Foot down, glass shattered on the pavement below

We keep moving through what's left of the black and the snow

Chorus

Sands of midnight, sands of night

Running blind like a burning light

Every grain falls slower than my hands can move

Sands of midnight, we don't stop running till we find it, we don't stop loving

Sands of midnight, sand in the wheel wells

Sands of midnight, sand where our shadows used to be

Verse

Engine coughing like a dying man's last gasp

Fifty now, sixty on the speedometer past

Neon static on the dashboard, white noise and blue

Every headlight shatters before I can think it through

Sand stuck to my neck like sweat that won't wash clean

City behind me turning into a mirror scene

Pre-Chorus

How many shadows till we find what we're chasing?

Where do the streets go when the streetlights start fading?

Foot down, glass shattered on the pavement below

We keep moving through what's left of the black and the snow

Chorus

Sands of midnight, sands of night

Running blind like a burning light

Every grain falls slower than my hands can move

Sands of midnight, we don't stop running till we find it, we don't stop loving

Sands of midnight, sand in the wheel wells

Sands of midnight, sand where our shadows used to be

Bridge

No destination left just a line on the floor

Every breath I take turns into sand and more

Fifty, sixty now a hundred's in my ears

Nothing else is left but these open roads and tears

I'm not running from it, I'm running through what's left of me

Till there's nothing left but a pile of dust where our shadows used to be

Chorus

Sands of midnight, sands of night

Running blind like a burning light

Every grain falls slower than my hands can move

Sands of midnight, we don't stop running till we find it, we don't stop loving

Sands of midnight, sand in the wheel wells

Sands of midnight, sand where our shadows used to be

Outro

One, two, three

We're still moving

One, two, three

Till the sun comes
