Lyrics
I watch all the seasons change
And the plans I've made
They all just turn to dust
I see all the memories and the tragedies
It all becomes too much

Carry me away, carry me away, carry me away

It's like I live in a house of sand
Where nothing ever seems to last
It's crashing down around me
It's crashing down around me
It's like I live in a house of sand

Ashes falling all around
To keep the sun from burning out
I'm watching as it all falls down
My head, there's still a symphony
But no one's sitting in their seats
I sing a silent melody

Carry me away, carry me away, carry me away

It's like I live in a house of sand
(House of sand)
Where nothing ever seems to last
It's crashing down around me
(Crashing down around me)
It's crashing down around me
(Crashing down around me)
It's like I live in a house of sand
