lyrics
Souls are dying every minute of every day
They go back to nothing from whence they came
Thus so, when their bodies have just begun to decay
But mine leaves me standing, watching you walk away
Who knows what I am if you won't stay
My shoulder's no comfort, just a place where you once laid
My hand grasps at nothing now when I'm afraid
Alone in my wonder and alone in my pain
I couldn't share them with you cause you said they were one and the same
You know what I am and it's not fake
If you're old and unhappy that you're old and you're grey
And only young in a picture behind the glass of a frame
I'll open my head up and expose what remains
Of where I've always been keeping what you thought you'd lost with your age
Who knows what you are if not my faith?
They go back to nothing from whence they came
Thus so, when their bodies have just begun to decay
But mine leaves me standing, watching you walk away
Who knows what I am if you won't stay
My shoulder's no comfort, just a place where you once laid
My hand grasps at nothing now when I'm afraid
Alone in my wonder and alone in my pain
I couldn't share them with you cause you said they were one and the same
You know what I am and it's not fake
If you're old and unhappy that you're old and you're grey
And only young in a picture behind the glass of a frame
I'll open my head up and expose what remains
Of where I've always been keeping what you thought you'd lost with your age
Who knows what you are if not my faith?
