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
