Details, the devil's in the details, but we sail Through this life, selling ourselves short like bargain retail We think we got it all, but the catch is we're still raw Even if you got a parachute, one day you still gone fall We can't fly high forever, soaring on vain endeavors When you come back to the ground, you'll realize you were never As important as you thought, you're just one of many bodies Walking through this life like a zombie in a living body That's no way to live, but that's what so many settle for You're no Olympic diver so what you gone get your medal for Metaphors, similes, Onomatopoeias, it don't matter how I word it, we are nothing Without Jesus Deep down I wanna believe that I'll never have to slumber But like it or not, I'll be another cemetery number If I waste my life, it's nobody else's fault but mine So why fight against God, one day we will all flatline I came from the dust, you came from the dust We going back, We going back, We going back to dust I came from the dust, you came from the dust We going back, We going back, We going back to Sandman, Sandman, body bag, body bag Sandman, Sandman, body bag, body bag Sandman, Sandman, body bag We going back, We going back, We going back to dust You could be fully functioning yesterday, on your way out today And gone by tomorrow, that's the progression that we all will face You could die of old age, or maybe you'll catch a disease Maybe your airplane will crash over one of the seven seas Anything could happen to you, but it shouldn't make you scared If anything, it should make you more prepared and more aware See the signs of the times, calamity is everywhere Keeping God on our minds the only way we're free from all life's cares Everyday we're getting older, I just saw my first gray hair No more new kids on the block, we'll be the elders with no hair But with age comes wisdom, at least it's supposed to You must work with Logic even if you're used to using Pro Tools Is your mind heaven bound or are you thinking local Is Christ enough for you?, if not you should change your focal Life is challenging enough, we must know who to go to Only one way to the Father and we know who to go through I came from the dust, you came from the dust We going back, We going back, We going back to dust I came from the dust, you came from the dust We going back, We going back, We going back to Sandman, Sandman, body bag, body bag Sandman, Sandman, body bag, body bag Sandman, Sandman, body bag We going back, We going back, We going back to dust
