Misery keeps a mad man sane
I'm suddenly I'm so eager to take that blank slate
Yeah the leaves on the tree are green
And the noise in my head's asleep
But the ground we built a home on still is riddled with mistakes
Who was I,
Before the sun went down?
Before I lost my crown, should I be proud?
See the way they look at me now
You'd think I was wearing a shroud
Ignorance is a certain type of bliss
And I want to ask but I'm afraid the answer's a detrimental wish
Yeah the river's flowing fast
And I'm balancing on a broken raft
Who was I,
Before the sun went down?
Before I lost my crown, should I be proud?
See the way they look at me now
You'd think I was wearing a shroud
As I watch them all move on
I know I'm really gone
Who am I,
Now that the sun's gone down?
Now that I've lost my crown, can I be proud?
See the way they look at me
You'd think I'd have knitted their shrouds
Who was I,
Before the sun went down?
Before I lost my crown, should I be proud?
See the way they look at me now
You'd think I was wearing a shroud
Who was I,
Before the sun went down?
Before I lost my crown, should I be proud?
See the way they look at me now
