lyrics

Verse One
I want to go back to the beginning,
when my skin was soft and my face was grinning.
It was so much simpler then,
before the truth broke through the lies.
I miss the painless thinking,
when I still believed that we weren't sinking and
It might seem dumb to say it now,
but I would rather be dumb than wise.

I can't close the door.

Verse Two
I wish the shades weren't broken and
that the words were still unspoken.
It's a little too late to block the sun,
nearly half-way up the sky.
Still I pray they're joking,
when they tell me that we'll soon be croaking.
If I can't keep hope just a little while,
then why should I even try.

and I can't close the door.

Verse Three
Should I go on forever?
'til I need to ask the questions whether
I was ever born, or was I always here,
or in the end will I have to die?
I'm still afraid of that ether
and I never really was a firm believer.
When we close our eyes for the very last time
I think it truly is goodbye.

I can't close the door.

I can't close the door.
