i walk the path of a life
that i lived before
i think of trails I tread
which i cannot find anymore
i have the traits of a person
i used to be
wings of grace can lift me up
and make me see
make me see
but i dig deeper holes
i bury stones and discover bones
i collect and display
in the hope that they’ll show the way
but i dig deeper holes
i bury stones and discover bones
i collect and display
in the hope that they’ll show the way
show the way
i’ve a map in my mind of the places
i used to go
but the edges are burnt
colours fade
and the lights are low
i remember a slave, and a friend
and becoming free
wings of grace can lift me up
and make me see
make me see
but i dig deeper holes
i bury stones and discover bones
i collect and display
in the hope that they’ll show the way
but i dig deeper holes
i bury stones and discover bones
i collect and display
in the hope that they’ll show the way
show the way
so i lay on the ground in my skin
with the things i found
and one day i’ll build a home
with all my memories
and never be alone

i smile smile smile even though i am dying inside
smile smile smile even though i am dying inside every day
i try try try to be a clown in your eyes
try try try to be a clown in your eyes in disguise
a wooden castle on a hill
the water's high, the winds are still
inside the flames are burning bright
and ashes begin to see the light
why don't you hold me dear
why can't i feel you near
when will the fire ever cease
why can't i live in peace
i smile smile smile even though i am dying inside
smile smile smile even though i am dying inside every day
i try try try to be a clown in your eyes
try try try to be a clown in your eyes in disguise
the flames are crawling up the wall
all my work begins to fall
where is the sword i hid so well
before fear invaded and i fell
tears cannot bring me home
castles always stand alone
floods may carry me away
unless love decides to stay
suddenly an open sky
to let go of my goodbye
the sword in my mind i lift my gaze
and freely walk through the blaze
to cry cry cry when i'm dying inside
cry cry cry when i'm dying inside night or day
i try try try to be a warrior and walk on
try try try to be a warrior and walk on 'cause i'm strong

when you see
no one sees
when you know
no one knows
so you ride on
all alone
and you become
close with the one
when you see
no one sees
when you know
no one knows
so you live on
even when gone
and you become
one with the one
all my travels lead to silence
yet i seek all the noise
hear the winter through the fire
who makes the perfect choice
when you see
no one sees
when you know
no one knows

tired of walking up the hill
injured from falling through the cracks of the mountain
tired of fighting with the shadow inside me
hurt from not seeing in the dark
why don't you take me away
high up in the sky
why don't you take me away
so i can fly
legs cannot carry the burden alone
eyes are to weary from trying to filter dust
heartbeat grows weaker as i settle to sleep
breath becomes silent as i weep
why don't you take me away
high up in the sky
why don't you take me away
so i can fly
to whom will i say goodnight
why don't i just take a ride
maybe you can't take me away
high up in the sky
maybe i will learn how to stay
in my mind i can fly

again i choose my dress to wear
the rays are bright, and black the night
it's always one, and never both
the rays to light, and yet i choose the night
why can't i see, can't i breathe, can't i feel
why can't i see, can't i breathe, can't i feel
i open inside, count the stars i can hide
keep paper thin
looking through to fill in
for you
my step is proud
my thoughts are loud
and yet my choice is silencing my voice
i want to sing and hold my sun
yet flowers wilt
if it was only night
why can't i see, can't i breathe, can't i feel
why can't i see, can't i breathe, can't i feel
i open inside, count the stars i can hide
keep paper thin
looking through to fill in
for you
how to see through black and right
why do bleed
whole inside
how to see through black and right
why do bleed
whole inside

the moon is still waiting to greet the sun
and the stars keep on shining on
the night always lingers into the day
and the stars keep on shining on
