The Echo of Stains

alone I sit with my regrets and the ringing in my ears
a fading man who just started to care
the glitter on the window
reminds me of a time
when the thought of being like this did not exist

oh well

there always was a way
I neglected

constantly waiting
didn't know who I was
looking for the answers in the dark
but what I saw and what I touched
burns me even still
every I hated in others

oh well

I always find a way if I have to
time is all it takes
to find a new hope that doesn't break
I just don't believe that there isn't more than this
round and round the echo of stains

the inner child's innocence listens to its heart
while the outer man keeps going into the dark
when all the paths seem to be shut
is when the struggle ends
the child no longer cares about the man

oh well
I always find a way if I have to
time is all it takes
to learn from our mistakes
I just don't believe that there isn't more than this
round and round the echo of stains

hope to find a less shattered mind
