Shadow On the Sun

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

But 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 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 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

A shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Sun

Sun
