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   all worth 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 i fling   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 yuo why   the end will never come   i can tell you why   the shoadow of the sun      shadow of the sun   shadow of the sun   shadow of the sun   shadow of the sun   shadow of the sun   shadow of the sun   shadow of the sun   sun   sun
