I've been looking for some kick
Looking for one trick
To get through the day

I've tried watching the time pass
Watching the hourglass
Do you ever get the feeling that you just don't want to play?

I'm finding it strange such
That people don't change much
'til they're torn apart

Keep one eye on the object
And don't change the subject
Do you ever get the feeling that this is just the start?

[Chorus]
Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
I've been saved by
I've been saved by you

It's just another thing that I'm wanting
Time that I'm wondering
If I could bend

And I don't believe that things just repeat
Do you ever get the feeling that history must end?

[Chorus]

And dearly departed
You leave a city broken-hearted
Or you were never never really there
And dearly departed
You leave a city broken-hearted
Or you were never never really there

Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me

[Chorus]
