Sand Lyrics - Tab At The Tab - Trey Anastasio

If you can heal the symptoms 

But not affect the cause 

It's quite a bit like trying to heal 

A gunshot wound with gauze 

If you instead attempt to wrest 

The pistol from the hand 

Then I would not be able to 

Equate my life with sand 

Flowing through the hourglass 

Pushing through the funnel 

Turn once more in racing 

All your siblings for the tunnel 

Slide and let the silicone 

Embrace you as you fall 

Then bounce and land and let your brothers 

Crush you to the wall 

I would choose my own religion 

Worship my own spirit 

But if he ever preached to me 

I wouldn't want to hear it 

I'd drop him, a forgotten God 

Languishing in shame 

And then if I hit stormy seas 

I'd have myself to blame 

If you can heal the symptoms 

But not affect the cause 

You can heal the symptoms 

If you can heal the symptoms 

Not affect the cause 

If you can heal the symptoms 

If you can heal the symptoms 

Not affect the cause 

If you can heal the symptoms 

If you can heal the symptoms 

But not affect the cause 

If you can heal the symptoms
