|
I must have left my soul cracked open |
|
like a door. . . |
|
in the night. . . |
|
Seizing the opportunity |
|
while i lay there sleeping |
|
all the beggars and thieves walked in |
|
and they stole |
|
all i stored inside |
|
I woke to find |
|
a shell of a man |
|
and all i had once believed . . . |
|
Stripped away . . . |
|
Stripped away |
|
Well i sat at Satan's table |
|
and I drank the wine |
|
in a feast of revelry |
|
Till my eyes were red and swollen |
|
and my soul was so held with stains |
|
that just won't come clean |
|
and i tell myself |
|
that i am in youth |
|
What all i could achieve |
|
Stripped away . . . |
|
Stripped away |
|
Well i stared at my own reflection |
|
But i know that those eyes can't be me |
|
My sprit floats in desperation |
|
on dreams like I've never seen |
|
So i reach for you |
|
and draw you near |
|
and pray that you won't be. . . |
|
Stripped away |
|
Stripped away |
