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
But now all that is gone
Overwith and done
Never to return
I can tell you why
People die alone
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on 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
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
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!
