Something is missing from me, something within my brain

Somehow I feel I do again and again

My blood has told me, I told to myself

So now in darkness, I stare at the wall

Stare at the wall

In my mind's eye I could see

Fame and fortune coming for me

It's what we all want, don't you see?

It could be you and it could be me

And in the darkness when we all awake

It all seems like a big mistake

And in the wreckage we are left

With only desolation

Somehow imagination brought me to where I've come

I'm feeling burned like paper out in the sun

So now in twisting stairwells, I look for another way

It might lead up or it might lead down

So now in desperation I reach out to you

I hope you can hear me, I hope that you do

In my mind's eye I could see

Fame and fortune coming for me

It's what we all want, don't you see?

It could be you and it could be me

And in the darkness when we all awake

It all seems like a big mistake

And in the wreckage we are left

With only desolation

Shattered and broke, there's no one to blame

Without hope, I'll never be the same

In my mind's eye I could see

Fame and fortune coming for me

It's what we all want, don't you see?

It could be you and it could be me

It could be you and it could be me

With only desolation

With only desolation
