Desire was fire
Burning bright just like the sun
But I lost my way and fell apart
In a war I almost won
Deception is the answer
When your back's against the wall
So I built this cage around myself
Designed to break my fall
But so far it's for nothing
The rusting takes it's toll
The man I was supposed to be
Was given to the world
I cast my blame on no one
But the me I can't forgive
And I'll make no appologies
My pride outweights my guilt
And I, I've never been gone for so long
And I'm alive, but only for so long
I'd search the sky for answers
But I'm stuck inside my head
I'd make my way back home
If I could find the place I left
We see what we choose to see
We're just forcing our eyes to believe it's alright
I seem to be losing my mind
Break all your mirrors and fake all your vows
Sooner or later we'll figure you out
We seem to be after the same thing
And I, I've never been gone for so long
And I'm alive, but only for so long
I'd search the sky for answers
But I'm stuck inside my head
I'd make my way back home
If I could find the place I left
We search for understanding
Anywhere beyond ourselves
We don't trust the voice inside our heads
For fear it might come out
We'd search the sky for answers
But ignore the heart in our chest
We sacrifice our memories
For whatever eternity we can get
I've been gone for so long
And I can't make any sense of this
I've been waiting for so long
To find the place I left
And I, I've never been gone for so long
And I'm alive, but only for so long
