We were both cast forth from the same pale hand
And we both moved freely in the shadow lands
And we both were sculpted by the same cold wind
And we both had armor that was made from tin
And I tried to find you, but it's useless
And I tried to speak, but it was useless
And I feel so bad and I didn't know why
And it didn't get better as time went by
And I tried to be there when you turned away
And I tried to find you, but you turned away
And I tried to find you, but it's useless
And I tried to speak, but it was useless
And I tried to find you, but it's useless
And you're so close, but I can't see you
And you're right there, but I can't see you
And I feel so dumb and I don't know what to do
You're right there and I can't see you
And I realize that it's useless
And I feel I'm right, but it's useless
And I see you there, but it's useless
And you're everywhere, but it's useless
And I tried to say it, but my tongue got tied
And I tried to say it, but I'm numb inside
And I can't see you anymore
And my peace of mind has gone through the door
And I realize that it's useless
And I thought I was right, but it was useless
And I see you there, but it's useless
And you're everywhere, but it's useless
And I can't see now in front of my nose
And I know you're there and I know you're close
And you're fading away—and disappear
And I try to focus, but I can't see clear
And I don't know why I feel this way
And I can't control myself anyway
And I don't know why I feel this way
And I can't control myself anyway
And I feel so bad, but it's useless
And I feel so bad, but it's useless
And I feel so bad, but it's useless
And I can't see... now, in front of my face
