Like a shattered window pane
The pieces of my soul were all I found
Like a smelter glowing bright
Melt the soul into a peace of mind
The key is all I need to unlock the door that brings me
Back to the place I know
Sometimes the way is clouded by the things we do not find
Lovely anymore
And through and open door
Like stopping up the stairs
The bellowing and screaming that raises your back hair
Each word like a dagger
Digging deeper, cutting closer to your heart
And when the wall falls down and the wind pounds your face
Rain will hide away the tears
An ounce of a smile or a warm feeling inside
Oh, they've been absent for years
And I'll scream
Where's the time gone
Where's the fun gone
And where are my friends
How we used to be
How we should be
It's gone around the bend
And sometimes I'll be up all night thinking of that and
The things and dreams and schemes we never let happen
Years ago
Years ago
Oh, years ago
