The Man That Walked Away

The man that walked away
Was lost inside a shell
The man that walked away
Was lost inside himself
He could not see the light
Inside the dark
Inside, the dark

I only see the darkness
I don’t see the way out
I don’t see the starry sky

The man that walked away
Was no more than a shell
Inside his weary head
Jaded storage cell
He could not see the colored butterflies
He could only see
The world in black and white

When you only see the darkness
You don’t see the way out
You don’t see the starry sky

Nightjars witnessеd my devotion
But potion turned to poison
His silencе broke the spell
I’ve used up all my incantations
I won’t be going back to
Raise him from the dead

The man that walked away
Was no more than a shell
And I’m done
Drawing water from an empty
Well
