I must have left my
soul cracked open like a door. . . in the
night. . .
Seizing the opportunity
while i lay there sleeping all the
beggars and thieves walked in and they stole
all i stored inside
I woke to find
a shell of a man and all i had once
believed . . .
Stripped away . .
. Stripped away
Well i sat at Satan's
table and I drank the wine in a feast of
revelry Till my eyes were red and swollen
and my soul was so held with stains that
just won't come clean
and i tell myself
that i am in youth What all i could
achieve
Stripped away . . . Stripped
away
Well i stared at my own reflection
But i know that those eyes can't be me My
sprit floats in desperation on dreams like I've
never seen
So i reach for you and
draw you near and pray that you won't be. .
