I was there to find but I was found instead
I thought you could save me but you came to condemn
Cover up my ears and tie me to the mast
I was bound in fear to the safest path
All my dreams are dead
The walls are closing in
I try to ascend but all I do is sink
I can take a jewel and turn it into mud
I turn every heart to granite, Midas touch
I thought I could take it but I was just a kid
I fought every gift you ever deigned to give
All my dreams are dead
The walls are closing in
I try to ascend but all I do is sink
I'm back to square one
Cold in defeat
And I'm curled in the fetal pose
My reflection now is alien to me
And I don't recognise the man I used to be
If I could I'd go back and slap myself awake
If I'd only known how years would fall in waste
All my dreams are dead
The walls are closing in
I try to ascend but all I do is sink
I'm back to square one
Cold in defeat
And I'm curled in the fetal pose
All dreams they fall apart
All things bright turn to dark
All dreams shall fall apart
All things gold shall turn to
Turn to dust
