If words seem to escape me   It's because I have no voice   And if I seem so distant    It's because I have no choice      And things have changed this heart of mine   A clouded look brought on by time   It's a common train of thought   In a world of foolish games   Can things ever be the same   It's a common train of thought      (Chorus)   An empty promise of forever   Vanished with the days   A final once forgotten question   Answered by the rain   Sit in this hell and choke on silence   Screaming to a star   And no one else can know my story   But me and my guitar       Objectives blurred but much clearer   Fades away and turns me to dust   Still far but seems much nearer   A "you" and "I" but will there be an "us"      I say your name and call it friend   Hold it against me in the end   It's a common train of thought   Infected by the only cure   Provides relief for the unsure   It's a common train of thought      (Chorus)   An empty promise of forever   Vanished with the days   A final once forgotten question   Answered by the rain   Sit in this hell and choke on silence   Screaming to a star   And no one else can know my story   But me and my guitar
