Once upon a time I was of the mind
|
To lay your burden down
|
And leave you where you stood
|
And you believed I could
|
You'd seen it done before
|
I could read your thoughts
|
Tell you what you saw
|
And never say a word
|
Now all that is gone
|
Over with and done - never to return
|
|
(chorus 1)
|
I can't tell you why
|
People die alone
|
I can tell you I'm
|
A shadow of the sun
|
|
Staring at the loss
|
Looking for a cause
|
And never really sure
|
Nothing but a hole
|
To live without a soul
|
And nothing to be learned
|
|
(chorus 2)
|
I can tell you why
|
People go insane
|
I can show you how
|
You could do the same
|
I can tell you why
|
The end will never come
|
I can tell you I'm
|
A shadow on the sun
|
|
Shapes of every size
|
Move behind my eyes
|
Doors inside my head
|
Bolted from within
|
Every drop of flame
|
Lights a candle in
|
Memory of the one
|
Who lives inside my skin
|
