lyrics

the history it holds
with a grip on my throat
it'd gladly let me go
if only i'd let it

till then my eyes fail to see
my voice rendered weak
the pain gave me everything
before it took it all

the crystals in the room
showed the stars and the moon
and i thought how could i even dare
believe the hurt was really there

'cause the rivers still would flow
and the gardens still would grow
regardless if I was
inside alone with ghosts

its only black without a light
my company will do fine
she held me when i lost my eyes
she held me when i was compromised

the time for faculty expired
my chance to run had left me tired
but I was a fool to have cried
with eyes that were blind

'cause the ignorant will know
the strong all had broken bones
regardless if i didn't know
while inside alone with ghosts

the water raced under the bridge
I'd never know what to make of it
she's broke so take her in is what they said
now we're broken but i'm so glad that i did

the days held the hours just the same
and the fates and destinies all still became
although I couldn't see from in the shade
and inside alone with ghosts i spent the day
