Once upon a time

I was on a 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 that is gone

Over with and done

And never to return

I can tell you why

People die alone

I can 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 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 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 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 on

The shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Sun

Sun
