I had a cure, for your disease
but you threw it away
and you made it clear I was not welcome on these seas
and you threw it awaySo I sailed and I sailed for so long
my hair grew long and my heart grew cold
I face certain death without you nearAnd I felt the storm and swam until the skies were clear
and I found a home along this crooked roadAnd all of this would have been
all of this could have been yoursAll of this should have been
all of this could have been yoursBlack clouds roll, right over red doors
as the waves were high
sooo was i
and the moon never looked so angry
as when your walls came crumbling down.It was so beautiful
It was so peacefulAll the destruction, it was quietAll of this would have been
all of this could have been yoursAll that you love, will be carried away
oh all that you love, will be carried awayAll of my pain, that you put on my name
all of my doubt, and all of my shameAll of my guilt, my denial and fear
all of my hatred and all of my tearsAll of the time that I couldnt go home
all of the times that I froze all aloneAll of the sadness all of the lies
all of the shadows that blackened my eyesAll of the servants, who cheated, who stole
all of the colors from the depths of my soulAll of the wounded, that you left for dead
now creep in the corner, they're all in my headAll of the dreams that you made nightmares
all of the silence, deafening staresAll of the ships who can't carry loads
you wrecked in anger, along distant shoresAll of this would have been
all of this could have been yoursAll of this should have been
all of this could have been yours.
