Left aside, for a while, on the margin of time,
Rusting clear, no one near, and her loneliness primes,
Cast away, in a fray, so as not to be seen,
For a truth, more than proof, it holds deep down within,
And you’ve stumbled across the trails, and you’ve picked up the phrase,
How you’re walkin’ down your sorrow,
I believe there’s something else left inside,
Something that no metal tainted hulk can hide,
I believe that only time allows,
Such a saddened, blue-devil clown to drown.
I believe it’s true,
I believe it’s you
I’ve lived along the shores, and I’ve beaten down the doors,
For a voice that I ignore, has led me on my way,
In the darkness of the sea, I’ve buried up this line,
And if you belong with me, I’ll spin it in a rhyme.
And you’ve stumbled across the trails, and you’ve picked up the phrase,
How you’re walkin’ down your sorrow,
I believe there’s something else left inside,
Something that no metal tainted hulk can hide,
I believe that only time allows,
Such a saddened, blue-devil clown to drown.
I believe it’s true,
I believe it’s you
Laying down a breath in a carcass of steal,
Made up the mantle of our dreams unreal,
Shining through the sun in it’s blissful haze,
Dazzling through the brazen walls a light invades,
I have been the outcast of my own,
Treading round the ground along which I have grown,
And there’s enough of life that I could not explain,
She showed me something else from which I could dream,
And I’ve seen you just this way, oh I believe it’s true yeah,
I believe it’s you,
I believe there’s something else left inside,
Something that no metal tainted hulk can hide,
I believe that only time allows,
Such a saddened, blue-devil clown to drown,
