All of This Could Have Been Yours

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.
