The noose is getting tight around your neck When every day's the same Stuck, you're suffocating in your sleep And there's no miracle to come As you're embracing your demise A piece of paper on the counter Only ten or 15 words To express the desperation And remind them who you were First, you take a breath You take a step Are you sure you can take it no more? Watch the sun from the shadows Ghostly reach, it's so- Distant, yet so close, oh Watch the sun from the shadows The rendered picture's so bleak So monochrome The choice is made Getting ready to execute yourself But these questions still remain Why am I stuck here waiting? Why do I expect something more And is there more at all? So you took a breath You made that step You are sure you can take it no more Watch the sun from the shadows Ghostly reach, it's so- Distant, yet so close, oh Watch the sun from the shadows The rendered picture's so bleak So monochrome Your arms are broken branches Your heart a dying coal A single tear in the corner of your eye But why? But why? Life was just around the corner There to pay you a surprise Time would change it for the better If you only had the time ♪ If you only had the time If you only had the time Watch the sun from the shadows Ghostly reach, it's so- Distant, yet so close, oh Oh, how I watch the sun from the shadows The rendered picture's so bleak So monochrome
