What's Left Behind
[1st v:]
What
Just what would lead anyone
To follow a rough road
To a place
Where its dark
And light
Shines from a burning sun
A life with too much
Way too much.... disorder
Continue a journey
Never ever known
Just what is
Around the corner
Take a turn left
Sometimes.... not always
Maybe
It appears
Right
[1st ch:]
Just when you want to believe
You can go there
But
You don't quite know....
Where
Drifting by
Leaving it all
Leaving it all
Behind
Its gone
Its so long gone
Go back
To where you were
Once before
Just one more look behind
To find it all
Awaits
Behind the open door
In an instant replay
Hit repeat
Rewind
You never left
You thought
You thought you did
You never left
Anything behind
[2nd v:]
Want to fly away
Like the clouds
Up so high
Shine the light
Live through the night
Just never
Never can quite escape
Just can't
Slip in to another
Unknown day
Too much sad
Brought on by
Too much bad
Never
Not even close to enough
Missing it all
Ignore the reality of the touch
No.... not ever
No warmth
Just the shallow cold
Poured over ice again
Frozen.... just way too much
Watch wide eyed
As the frosted colored glass
Falls and shatters
Now you hear
Nothing.... no nothing
Much of everything.... not believing
What really matters
[2nd ch:]
Just when you want to believe
You can go there
But
You don't quite know....
Where
Drifting by
Leaving it all
Leaving it all
behind
Its gone
Its so long gone
Go back
To where
To where you were
Once before
Just one more look behind
To find it all
Awaits
Behind the closed door
In an instant replay
Hit repeat
Rewind
You never left
You thought....
You never left.... {you never left}
You thought you did ....{ never knew you did }
Anything behind ....{ nothing was ever left behind }
You never left
You thought you did
You never left .... { you never left }
You thought you did .... { never knew you did}
Anything behind ....{ you never left anything behind}
