I can see the future in my mind
Clear as day, no regrets left behind
Open wide, my tired eyes, look away
So many lies I had to take
Still remember you
Wondering how much it hurts
To live (with memories of you)

I could die a little in revenge
I could taste the blood of jealousy
Sands of time, they divide, humankind
So many tries I had at stake
Still I’m loving you
Wondering how much it takes
To feel

The songs I wrote are stones I throw
On the grave of the shape I once held
The nails I shove into the image
Of your eyes and face
Smiling at me, shining at me
Saying everything will be alright
Claiming we had different paths to take
As dead as the leaves of a tree that’s supposed to give in


Out of sight, out of mind
Tried to tell myself at times
Broke the unbroken, killed my rhymes
Dry as hell, the tears I cried
If you could ever see me
As the home for your own soul
If you could ever take me with you
Smiling at me, tearing at me
Saying you would choose me if you could,
Oh, how many times I cursed those words

No matter what they say from high ground
No time can mend a storyteller’s heart
If there’s only one thing I wish I’d done
Is to tell you how beautiful we were
No matter what the stories tell us
No reason why can cancel all that was
And there’s only one thing I wish I’d said
Lost among the dark

Do you feel the same
When you call his name?
When you cry in pain
When all words are vain?
When you hold the tears
When you face your fears
(Do you feel the same
When the dark is near?)
Do you feel the same
When you call his name?
When we were so close
Was it all a game?
Was it all in vain
Was it all a shame?
Do you feel the same?

No matter what they say from high ground
No time can mend a storyteller’s heart
If there’s only one thing I wish I’d done
Is to tell you how beautiful we were
No matter what the stories tell us
No reason why can cancel all that was
And there’s only one thing I wish I’d said
Lost among the dark

No matter what they say from high ground
No time can mend a storyteller’s heart
If there’s only one thing I wish I’d done
Is to tell you how beautiful we were
No matter what the stories tell us
No reason why can cancel all that was
And there’s only one thing I wish I’d said
Lost among the dark
