Once upon a time
I was of the mind
To lay your burden down
And leave you where you stood
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

I can't tell you why
People die alone
I can't tell you why
The 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

I can't tell you why
People go insane
I can't show you how
You could do the same
I can't tell you why
The end will never come
I can't tell you why
The 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

I can't tell you why
People go insane
I can't show you how
You could do the same
I can't tell you why
The end will never come
I can't tell you why
The shadow of the sun

shadow of the sun
shadow of the sun
shadow of the sun
shadow of the sun
shadow of the sun
shadow of the sun
shadow of the sun
sun
sun
