Mystery

I see through a mist

I see through your tears

Before you existed

You disappeared

You do yourself harm

And you cause yourself pain

I used to believe

Everything could be explained

But you are a mystery

I ask you no questions

You tell me no lies

Your silence is frozen

But you can't tell me why

So much to lose

So little to gain

I used to believe

Everything could be explained

Right down through history

A single word of darkness

Waiting on your tongue

Lets me know I'm lost

Before I've even begun

Feeling your retreat

Out of the sun

For love or for money

From shipwreck to shore

To the ends of the earth

There's a world outside your door

I lay a ghost

While you lay the blame

I used to believe

Everything could be explained

Now it's lost on me

Planet struck

Open mouth

Am I still drinking?

Am I headed south?

Should I feel guilty?

Should I be ashamed?

I used to believe

Everything could be explained

But you are a mystery
