lyrics

dave mazzarelli, written 2007

sun is dim and the moon has gone black
wish that i was finally home
now its the end of days and all i see
a simple acquaintance where once was you
now i have nothing to show for it
never wanted to play the fool

how did i end up in this place?
why did the sky come crashing down?
things are much calmer under the water
the pressure builds inside my heart
i lift my eyes and beg for release
no answer comes and i fall to my knees

if i give my soul, would it give me direction?
if i offer up my soul, would it take the pain away?
fill this vessel with something to believe in
give me a reason to draw breath again

sun is dim and the moon has gone black
sorry lament for an empty heart
things are much calmer under the water
left behind with no one else to blame
a place i called home - what can i take away
yet i find myself homeless again
