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
