Dry leaves
Painted skin
-it took me a while
before I knew
what's going on

Trail of lies
Gold lost gleam
-it took me a while
to see the light
fading from my eyes

Changed heart
Tainted past
-it took me a while
to grasp what's behind
all these tears and sorrow

Sins of goodbyes
Sold all hands
to forces that be
-it took me a while
to realize that
I wasn't happy anymore
