Etched into his skin is the story of his time
From an epic fall to his greatest climb
Doesn’t understand the world he sees with his eyes
His memory is faded, no matter how he tries
People seem so cold, faces he don’t recognise
He looks a fucking mess
Under foreign skies.
When the world that you knew is dead and gone,
how’d you find the will to carry on?
It’s all moved on and you don’t fit,
you’re on the outside of it.
Looking for some hope, to find the home he knew
It all seems so false and he’s looking for the truth
The grandeur has all gone, tarnished and worn away
Remembering its heights, he has nothing left to say.
Do these eyes betray me? Will my whole world cease to be?
And I don’t wanna see, what happens if I stay and try to be.
