Once upon a time I was of the mind   To lay your burden down   And leave you where you stood   And you believed I could   You'd seen it done before   I could read your thoughts   Tell you what you saw   And never say a word   Now all that is gone   Over with and done-never to return      I can tell you why   People die alone   I can tell you I'm   A shadow on the sun      Staring at the loss   Looking for a 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 I'm   A 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 lives 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 I'm   The shadow on the sun
