lyrics

We are the sand within the glass,
We are small and oh so insignificant,
As we drain away,
You are the sand that makes the glass,
You are tall but you are cracked,
Crumbling under the weight of us all,
You can't contain us anymore,
You can't contain us anymore,
You can't contain us anymore,
You can't contain us anymore.

You can't contain us anymore,
You're cracked and broken on the floor,
Crumbling under the weight of us all,
You can't contain us anymore,
You're cracked and broken on the floor,
Crumbling under the weight of us all.

Your were meant to show us love,
Care and understaning,
Take our hand and guide us through the rain,
But we chose our own path,
We're not the same as you,
No longer your reflection,
Your perfect image remade,
We don't need you any more,
We don't need you any more.

You can't contain us anymore,
You're cracked and broken on the floor,
Crumbling under the weight of us all,
You can't contain us anymore,
You're cracked and broken on the floor,
Crumbling under the weight of us all.

We are the sand that breaks the glass,
We are the sand that breaks the glass,
We are the sand that breaks the glass,
We are the sand that breaks the glass.

You can't contain us anymore,
You're cracked and broken on the floor,
Crumbling under the weight of us all,
You can't contain us anymore,
You're cracked and broken on the floor,
Crumbling under the weight of us all.

We are the sand that breaks the glass,
You can't contain us anymore,
We are the sand that breaks the glass,
We don't need you anymore,
We are the sand that breaks the glass,
You can't contain us anymore,
We are the sand that breaks the glass,
We are sand.
