You'll never see me standing there,
right behind the back of your mind.
Can you smell the memory of me?
you'll never see me standing there.

Can you tell where I've been,
like a trap door to your soul.
Fingertips the brush your skin,
can you tell where I've been?

The sounds of silence mark my passing,
did you miss me in all the noise?
Life's too busy for such as us,
the sounds of silence mark my passing.

The touch of me is like the breath of the wind,
can you feel me blowing through your hair?
Slight shivers that gives you goose bumps,
the touch of me is like the breath of the wind.

This dim light that I shine from afar,
is it enough for you to find your way back?
Footsteps that echo through eternity,
this dim light that I shine from afar.

And if I reach too far, I might hold back,
and if I walk too hard, I might fall down.
And if I sing too loud, I might shut up,
can you tell me now if I'm still breathing?

And if I cry too much, I might lock down,
and if I feel so bad, I'll swallow it down.
Break my limbs, my heart, my soul,
can you tell me now if my heart's still beating?

This path I walk is way too long,
can I continue with no end in sight?
Every step I take, I can't take back,
this path I walk is way too long.

This taste I have is bittersweet,
like curdled milk, can't wash it down.
Sticks to my tongue and the roof of my mouth,
this taste I have is bittersweet.

I fell down fast, I'm burning up,
these scars won't heal, each a reminder.
With new skin comes the lessons I know,
I fell down fast, I'm burning up.

I've tred so long, I'm not what you know,
can you see inside, can you see my soul?
These hands are tired, yet they're all I have,
I've tred so long, I'm not what you know.

And if I reach too far, I might hold back,
and if I walk too hard, I might fall down.
And if I sing too loud, I might shut up,
can you tell me now if I'm still breathing?

And if I cry too much, I might lock down,
and if I feel so bad, I'll swallow it down.
Break my limbs, my heart, my soul,
can you tell me now if my heart's still beating?

Can't live without trying to live,
can't bring without trying to give.
Can't wound without trying to heal,
can't steal without trying to feel.

Like a ghost, I've haunted your life,
plague your house and your secrets, all damn night.
Seared into my mind, I can't forget your face,
(sooner or later, I'll learn my place.)
