As the sun goes up over broken dreams of Eden
|
And she wakes up slowly from the chains that tied her mind
|
She walks down past the bound that said forever
|
down the road back home to the ones she left behind
|
I've been hanging on threads of emotion
|
I've been lost in a riddle so deep
|
I've been blinded by my own devotion
|
I've been running down this dead end street
|
All I wanted was a house on the mountain
|
we could play like the king and queen
|
Never wanted the world on my shoulders
|
Never wanted this brutal awakening
|
This brutal awakening
|
On a bed of nails you see no face of freedom
|
Still you hang on to dreams of something you'll never find
|
When you're in that deep you sacrifice your vision
|
yeah you loose your sight pretending you're not blind
|
I've been hanging on threads of emotion
|
I've been lost in a riddle so deep
|
I've been blinded by my own devotion
|
I've been running down this dead end street
|
All I wanted was a house on the mountain
|
we could play like the king and queen
|
Never wanted the world on my shoulders
|
Never wanted this brutal awakening
|
This brutal awakening
|
So you closed the door on the one there to receive you
|
Then you slowly drifted away on your own
|
Now you reach out for the same one to release you
|
Yeah you've finally seen that this bird has not yet flown
|
I've been hanging on threads of emotion
|
I've been lost in a riddle so deep
|
I've been blinded by my own devotion
|
I've been running down this dead end street
|
All I wanted was a house on the mountain
|
we could play like the king and queen
|
Never wanted the world on my shoulders
|
Never wanted this brutal awakening
|
All I wanted was a key to your kingdom
|
we could play like the king and queen
|
Never wanted the world on my shoulders
|
Never wanted this brutal awakening
|
This brutal awakening
|
This brutal awakening
|
