lyrics

she's never home
and often she grieves 'cause she's all alone
and people who leave her
will never be quite the same again

he craves a cure where two can escape
but a mouthful of emptiness dries up the date
he's got all the time, all the time he needs...

still every day he stands the test
running from failure but stopping for breaths
still he can hope to see her again
the shell that comprises the ghost of a friend
she thinks she's changed, but that's not the point
the core will remain and then filters adjoin
this is a life he's trading away
her voice was an echo than ended today

when i go then bury this with you
the floodgate's open with something new
i could paint a perfect picture of a view i never saw
i've got everything i need
new heights and distant memories
that i've been trying to suppress
i'll get them out of my system

when i go then bury this with you
the floodgate's open with something new
i could paint a perfect picture of a view i never saw
