Time went so slow when you weren't around

No one could lend help, mind was unsound

The pieces of my youth decayed

And every tie I'd break, a trap for me laid

I never thought of your point of view

Oh, did you love me? I hope you still do

But things have changed since those simple times

The past is always of simple minds

Oh, someone open up the casket

Pull back the curtains and let the sunshine in

We can't breathe this dust any longer

Yet, we don't wonder

You hid your mind off, locked in a cage

Its thoughts were insane, out of your range

And yet you walk on as if you were free

You made the chains that bind on your feet

My chains have wound me up in a mess

But that's okay, I needed the rest

As things untangle, I start to breathe

Is this what 'happy" really can mean?

Oh, someone open up the casket

Pull back the curtains and let the sunshine in

We can't breathe this dust any longer

Yet, we don't wander

Yet, we don't wander

(Da da)

(Da da)

(Da da)

Time went so slow when you weren't around

No one could lend help, mind was unsound

But time moves on and I cannot stay

So I'll move on and burn it away
