Lyrics

For all that you are
Have you really traveled that far?
All that remains are these pieces of broken glass
You wanted to fly
But you couldn't trust the sky
It's the end of an era at last

The stain on the wall
And your footsteps in the hall
Fading away like the sand in an hourglass
A train heading east
With your conscience now released
It's so clear I won't see you again

Chorus:
And the diamonds of my soul
You swallowed them whole
You said you were satisfied
But you know
You can't swim
In this sea of uncertainty

The dream lingers on
Even when the night is gone
Just like you, reflecting in this pool of glass
The Spirit of the Mule
Winks its weary eye at you
I know now you weren't meant to last

Chorus

But now I've returned
To this bridge that I burned
Long ago, when your angels wore different wings
Now I know things have changed
Your situation and your age
But please, this time it's for real
