If words seem to escape me It's because I have no voice And if I seem so distant It's because I have no choice And things have changed this heart of mine A clouded look brought on by time It's a common train of thought In a world of foolish games Can things ever be the same It's a common train of thought (Chorus) An empty promise of forever Vanished with the days A final once forgotten question Answered by the rain Sit in this hell and choke on silence Screaming to a star And no one else can know my story But me and my guitar Objectives blurred but much clearer
Fades away and turns me to dust Still far but seems much nearer A "you" and "I" but will there be an "us" I say your name and call it friend Hold it against me in the end It's a common train of thought Infected by the only cure Provides relief for the unsure It's a common train of thought (Chorus) An empty promise of forever Vanished with the days A final once forgotten question Answered by the rain Sit in this hell and choke on silence Screaming to a star And no one else can know my story But me and my guitar
