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
And tell you what you saw
And never say a word
But now all that is gone
Over with and done
Never to return
And 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 the cause
And never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned
And 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 lived inside my skin
And 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
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
