Cellophane

Seems time has snared me All these rope burns on my soul Despair can't be stifled deep In time the scars begin to show

And though good memories fused in spirit Walk with me each day The toll for passion is black misery And hear me, at some point you'll have to pay

So I Cellophane Cellophane this wasted life Cellophane my fate

Seems life has doped me All these track marks on my soul I keep on running from time but eventually Every doorway leads to old There’s a spark of life that can devour Even in death The muse departed leaves a void That swallows whole all that is left

So I Cellophane Cellophane this twisted life Cellophane my fate Cellophane my head

In youth I thought I’d grasped the purpose Wrestled it for truth and meaning On the ground I look for the wisdom On which with age I was to be leaning

There’s a shadow I can’t silence Like a bell its echoes ring out Try to stand and shake off all this dust Find your voice and find that you can sing out
