[Verse 1]

Never found the oasis
Felt holy water on my tongue
Or the wind on my faces
I'm faceless
Living in this dry heat
Living in this quicksand, I'm waist deep
Sweat in my eyes, I can't see
Play possum, 'cause I can't sleep
Bags under my eyes
Hairs on my neck standing upright
Chills up my spine
It's cold out here in the night
We start fires, but by God
It's still cold out here
My knees weak, shoulders heavy
With this weight on my back
No turning back
Watching every step across the salt flats
Splinters in my side
From the crosses I've carried to the grave
Wings dripping wax from when I flew to close the sun
But I'm not done, I'm not dead
Demons in my skin, and voices in my head
But I'm still not dead

[Chorus]

Call me, Sandman
I'll put you to sleep
Call me, Sandman
You won’t hear a peep
Call me, Sandman
You see me in your dreams
Sandman
Sandman
Sandman

[Verse 2]

You're blessed I'm not the same man
The same man
You best be glad I changed and
I changed and
The demons took the demon out of me
So I could grow up and learn how to lead
So these people would learn to leave me be
I'm the only one that can tame this beast
I've died twice for misunderstood peace
Working wide awake as my city sleeps

[Chorus]

Call me, Sandman
I'll put you to sleep
Call me, Sandman
You won’t hear a peep
Call me, Sandman
You see me in your dreams
Sandman
Sandman
Sandman
