Lyrics
0:03You're holding bits of Styrofoam
0:05With your face painted on to your friends
0:11You listen to them whine and moan
0:14About everything you can't understand
0:21Can I just say I don't fear the light
0:25But darkness descends once more into my life
0:31And suddenly we're all alone in silence
0:34So I take a step away
0:39I look up to the falling snow
0:42As it makes its home upon my face
0:48Well I wouldn't want to ruin
0:50Something I couldn't save
0:52The gap will keep us safe the gap will keep us safe
0:59Step away get me when I'm down
1:16And suddenly I'm five years old
1:19And I'm just so cold I want to cry
1:24I haul up on my gentlemen
1:27Who have always been there in hard times
1:33They're just not like that man of mine
1:37Who visit me from time to time
1:43My love I treasure you
2:00I hear that summer's coming back
2:03So I stretch out my back and travel a long
2:08The winter though it darkens me
2:11It is pure and clean and all I want
2:17I'll apologize to the ones I love
2:21For leaving them when the sun comes up
2:28Too bright for me darkness descends
2:44Oh well I'm not well again
2:47And once more darkness it descends
2:51The ground is falling under me
2:55And I can't find the means to leave
3:03Convinced that I am going mad
3:05Oh I bury my head into his hands
3:11So sure that I'm losing faith
3:13Oh I clear a space in his father's land
3:20You deal with God far too young
3:24Before you know it your life has run away
You're holding bits of Styrofoam With your face painted on to your friends You listen to them whine and moan About everything you can't understand Can I just say I don't fear the light But darkness descends once more into my life And suddenly we're all alone in silence So I take a step away I look up to the falling snow As it makes its home upon my face Well I wouldn't want to ruin Something I couldn't save The gap will keep us safe the gap will keep us safe Step away get me when I'm down And suddenly I'm five years old And I'm just so cold I want to cry I haul up on my gentlemen Who have always been there in hard times They're just not like that man of mine Who visit me from time to time My love I treasure you I hear that summer's coming back So I stretch out my back and travel a long The winter though it darkens me It is pure and clean and all I want I'll apologize to the ones I love For leaving them when the sun comes up Too bright for me darkness descends Oh well I'm not well again And once more darkness it descends The ground is falling under me And I can't find the means to leave Convinced that I am going mad Oh I bury my head into his hands So sure that I'm losing faith Oh I clear a space in his father's land You deal with God far too young Before you know it your life has run away
