lyrics

Well I prayed too much so my knees are sore
A stained glass sunset throws shadows far
But not far enough for my taste
Not dark enough to hide this happy face

Well I looked inside, I don’t like what I see
But once it’s found it can’t be lost again
And I think of the agony, and I think of the waste
Too long spent behind this happy face

Her velvet eyes are bright with pain
I can’t stop myself from twisting a knife
Tattered and torn, whatever happened to this place
Now it’s just a frame for a happy face

Well my shoulder aches but I can see the hill

Now I look down on my empire of sand
I had the world but it slipped through my hands
This field of stone will be my resting place
Finally wiped the smile off this happy face
