Once My Everything Lyrics

Come on in and sit a spell

Open up your mind

It's calling, all those wishes in your well

Will get you every time

Things unseen like self esteem

An embodiment of broken dreams

And hope, we question what's the cost

The future and the love we feel we've lost

So let it come to pass

The sadness filling up your glass with life

Ah, the world in snow

The afterglow

The one you'll never

Gather round and stay a while

Watching two with one sure ending

Another timid broken smile

To heal you over time

Seems to be my serpentine

Eroding nearly everything I hold

She sits in silver skies

A concrete heart engulfed in velvet lies

And yet, she calls my name

Through somber, slumbers, winters, rain and cold

She is the light, the final light

The one you'll never know

No one is by your side

The end is beginning again

The sorrow that you hide

You feel that you're in it to win

And still your heart beats on

Oh, oh

And still your heart beats on

I'm no puppeteer

I don't make things happen

It doesn't work like that

It's like butterfly wings

Once touched, they never get off the ground

I only set the stage

You pull your own string

Free will

Who am I

I have so many names

You know, I'll tell you, boy

Guilt is like a bag of fucking bricks

All you gotta do is let it go

Who are you carrying all those bricks for

God

Is that it? God

Well, I tell you

Let me give you a little inside information about God

God likes to watch

He's a prankster. Think about it

He gives man instincts

He gives you this extraordinary gift

And then what does he do

I swear, for his own amusement

his own private cosmic gag reel

he sets the rules

It's here

Come and be my everything

Can't you see the sky is falling

Sway with me, my serpentine

Can't you see the end is dawning

Now
