Sifting through the sand
Broken glass cuts the hand
Smoking guns and cigarettes
Wash ‘em down with old regrets

Floating upside down
The truth has been drowned
And the liquor store is open
While the children are all has-beens

An open box of evil dreams
Terrorize all living things
Fast forward through the worst of it
Rewind until we can’t forget

Ice cream melts in the sand
Like all things built by man

Revisions are forbidden
The goldfish’s tears are hidden
Like a smile behind sealed lips
a leaky faucet that never drips

Yesterday was quite a day
The king finally had his way
His armies are advancing
While our hope for peace is dashing

Time never skips a beat
Crushes memories beneath its feet
Burning cars and empty shelves
Save your families save yourself

Ice cream melts in the sand
Like all things built by man
