Must Be a Way

Must be a way to trace the steps back
You'll find a better way to take it in stride
It's all your kind

Must be a way, the blues are so black
And my heart an empty shape
That I can't recognize before my eyes

Must be a weight clinging to all of a life here
Ain't no way to escape, dear
It's grinnin' with blood in its eyes
But is it a lie?

Must be a way
The days are so long here
Watch my chest rise and fall here
Till the light blackens out

Oh I, I see it now

Must be a weight clinging to all of my life here
And I ain't the kind to forget, dear
The dark architect in my mind
Schemin' inside

Must be a weight drafting this desert of mirrors
But oh what is left when the smoke clears?
Fragile and fallen I'll hide...
