blue for you - shelf hate Lyrics

He thought he was so different than
Everyone on earth
But he found himself
Up upon the highest shelf
The books around him looked the same
Just sitting there, day to day
And every one had
Special words to say
High up on the mountainside
Letters call out their demise
Forgetting the mighty course
Of time

Blinded by a marble light
An eclipse on a cloudy night
Visions are all made up
In the sand tonight my love
He saw his life from start to end
If only he could change or mend
The moments where he felt
Oh so small
The light becomes deathly now
And one man just could not know how
To make his words ring
Louder than the rest
