Parcels - Once lyrics

Once I was a man Stronger than the shelf Once there was a plan But one can never tell Once a mother's gone The children raise themselves Once I was alive Breathing in the air Now the more I lie The less I lose my hair Now the road is wide Now the people stare Waiting open eyed For once a meaning there For one can see the light Underneath the bed For months there at a time Believing every thread And months would flutter by And fears would all have fled And it'll all be fine At least that's what you said Whoa I want to buy a house I want to make a stand I want to love a girl I want to love a man I want to kill the past I want to stop the sand I want another chance But one is all you have But if once more I could feel What I felt before I'd hold it like it's real I'd never let it fall I'd blow up every bridge I'd build up every wall And nothing could get in But nothing could be born Whoa Whoa And everything looks nice Nothing is unwell But once the fruit of God Forever live in hell And once you choose a side There's nothing left to win And once a lover dies You never love again
