lyrics

white soul, black hole, there's no failing in my dreams
when I sleep, when I dream, everything seems peacefully
I wake up my hands are numb my arms are weak my mind is bleached
these rain drops days upon me and no shelter there to reach
I'm never going to see the blue ocean like it used to be
with every mile that I walk I at least don't need to admit
I'm walking way too far because I already did
and I'm going on with the waste, through the dirt and the days
the taste of dust in the lungs
and I know I will never breath like when I was young

turn back time, I want to hide, I want to be where life can't find me
I need to clean this soul, if there is something like this
I was so inncocent, I ain't no saint

turn back clocks and tell this kid, if you leave now you can never come back
turn back clocks and tell this kid, if you leave now you can never come home

I'm in this glasshouse of sorrows and blackouts
i threw a stone but there's no wall
I cut my skin off to death but the numbness was in my flesh
I was supposed to be free
but I built a house, a house with no doors to leave
I got this black soul and the past but even if it's relative I can't turn back - time

someday I'll stop to stray and I'll say to myself
I'm just human, it's okay
so your hands are a little dirty – but so are mine
