When time came pouring like rain
The walls that were built up decayed
The world that was lush and green
Was but a shell drawn out to sea
All the wonders that had been bottled up
Smashed against my will to let it be
If I had to walk that path again
That long dark road with no lights on
I'd grind by teeth and turn to dust
Cold heart burdened with mistrust
The hand that sways that's lifted and knocked away
I couldn't go back if you couldn't stay
If to invest myself was my only chance
The time has gone the rain has ceased
The crumbling inside me has fallen before
I've come back to that feeling once more
This is my farewell to that open door
