A handful of sand 

Is all that you grab

As you're watching the money fall

Right through your hands

It took such a long, long time now

To build on demand

But this is a war in the cradle of

This modern man



Does this mean we're breaking up? [x3]

Like stones again? [x2]



A mouthful of glass

That cuts up your words

You better watch that nothing's falling out

Watching nothing is heard



Does this mean we're breaking up? [x3]

Like stones again?



It took a long, long, long, long time 

To reverse, like a curse

It took a long, long, long, long time

Took long, long, long, long time



And these are the words in the pages of

And this is the law of unspoken love

And this is a war in the cradle of

This modern man



Does this mean we're breaking up? [x8]

Like stones again? [x8]
