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) 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 (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
