Phish - Sand lyrics

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 while racing all
Your siblings for the tunnel
Slide and let the silicone embrace
You as you fall
Then bounce and land you let your
Brothers crush you to the wall

I would choose my own religion
And 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
If you can heal the symptoms
If you can heal the symptoms
But 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
If you can heal the symptoms
But not affect the cause
If you can heal the symptoms
