Once I was there
Standing outside
Looking in
Beside my window
Smiling face, shattering
Its an old mans pride
That climbs over understanding
It wasnt your child
That I was hurting
(pre-chorus:)
And I turn my back to the world
Well I dont care
What can I say if I see you all as dead
(chorus:)
Under the dying sun it comes
Weaving fear but I have none
I know that mushroom cloud
Wont come very near
What do you have to believe in
And all the poison you breath in
The crystal heart shatters within
Once I was there
Standing outside
Moving in
Inside my window
Crying face, shattering
Take all that you have
And leave the rest for today
Its the old folks sign
That took away your chastidy
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
