Up on the hilltop
I see the lake afar
And I feel nothing
As the sun burns my eyes
This used to be
Used to be where I felt
But as I got older
All the emotion left
I fear the day
My dreams turn to dust
I'd have to admit
How right my mother was
And I fear the moment
Of my own death
And I fear that's a sign of
Lacking faith
Remember when we walked across the lake?
The trees turned blue and I felt no hate
I'm facing my reflection eye to eye
I've faked a smile all this time
Brother I'm sorry (Brother I'm sorry)
For what I did (For what I did)
Father forgive me (Father forgive me)
For I have sinned (For I have sinned)
Hold me closer (Hold me closer)
Bury my past (Bury my past)
For every moment (Every moment)
Could be my last (Could be my la-)
No comfort in this life
No peace for the anxious mind
Lord save me, the stars burn out
For once I'll shut my mouth
