lyrics

I went to a place so far back in time
Everybody said something that meant nothing to me
So I walked around, Shadow on the ground
I spoke to it and it spoke back to me
What a clever thing to say I said
Told me many things I never could forget

That the sun’s light through the glass is not enough
And the moments as they pass
Like the sun’s light through the glass
It’s not enough

Maybe it’s the way your skin falls off when I touch you
Maybe it’s your voice echo hollow in my head
Maybe it’s me
She swims in the fading rays of light that fold away
And cleanses herself in the old man’s shadow

Another night with purple lids, slurred words and rolling lives
Another view with drowning thoughts, ground upturned, planted lies

And still you cannot handle what you save
Cause you yearn, you lust, you hunger and you crave
To be yourself untarnished
And unstained

I’m running, I’m running out of time, I’m running away
I’m running, I’m running out of time, I’m running away

I’m drowning, I’m running out of breathe, I’m floating away
I’m drowning, I’m running out of breathe, I’m floating away

But I don’t want to lose my mind, not this time
I don’t care if it’s all aligned, I don’t want to lose my
Not gonna lose my mind, not this time
Not this time
