I have murdered and I have lied
I've been the cloud, I've been the sky
Longed for freedom and longed for peace
wanted power and things you can't see
Tried to feel, tried to be dull
Once I was empty, once I was full
Turned it white and turned it black
failed to live, learned to regret
I have been to heaven, I've been to hell
Can't tell the difference, it is quite the same
I suffered well and bloomed in hopelessness
killed the boy inside the man
whom I gave hope, told him to dream
while living a life which is losing and losing its meaning
show me what's real about my dream
I can't distill this soggy heat
I inflamed while I drowned
I've seen the the end from top to down
I have been here,
or have I been gone for too long?
