I am, I was self
It’s what I turned to be
A solid stone through violin
It may not think/make just be
But when I close my eyes to dream
I felt the wind, the rain
And a clouded sky that seems
Happy to stay/happily stained

I was, once I was
Irreversible, but/burnt space
Between me and what you made of me
And how others crowd the sane/cry the same
But when I close my eyes to dream
I felt the wind, the rain
And a clouded sky that seems
Happy to stay/happily stained

I was, once I was
Burnt smoke and flesh and flames
We now sing to an act of love
How/that we can always do the same
But when I close my eyes to dream
I felt the wind, the rain
And a clouded sky that seems
Happy to stay/happily stained
