Everyday I close my eyes and I see
A dying corpse just wanting to be free
Scars of the past are still burning bright
You’re so far ahead you’re out of sight
Sparkles of light drip past my eyes
You turn away, not to look behind
As I lay here to rest and believe
That this will soon be another memory
Trying with my heart to cure the thoughts of the past
Only to realize they’ve buried down at last
Hoping for a chance for you to see
To listen with your heart and finally set me free
Longing for the past, a time when you were there
Making me whole, not a chance to despair
Still loving the eyes that once looked into my soul
Hoping for a chance is now what makes me whole
A chance to love, a chance to forgive
All seems so far in this life that we live
Just to turn the hourglass upside down
To see a smile on all of your faces when I was around
