What’s it gonna take
To hear beyond the noise
I’m about to break
I’ve got no choice
I did everything you asked
You claimed the harvest yield
Now I’m eating grass
In a potters field

Chorus 1:
Is there something for which I must atone
‘Cause it’s over and I’m left alone
I’ve lost the constellations
On this moonless night
Every conversation
Has its price
No rest in my waking
“To sleep, perchance to dream”
Whispers leave me quaking
My mind a silent scream

Chorus 2:
I’m wandering, a heart without a home
It’s over and I’m left alone

Bridge:
Oooo...alone...ooo

Chorus 3:
It would be better if I was laid beneath a stone
It’s over and I’m left alone

Chorus 3:
It would be better if I was laid beneath a stone
It’s over and I’m left alone
