Paroles de In all that time

In a silent world
I had lived without sight or sound
In all that time

You know i felt that shame
But i put the blame on everyone around
In all that time

And i had lost all of my power, my faith and my belief
In all that time
And i had lost those wings that carried me
To any place i longed to be
In all that time

I should have
Let you know one thing
That what you saw
Was just my shadow

A picture black and white
The colours shining bright
Were washed away
In that rain still falling down on me

Was all that a curse
Whatever promised to get better
Turned out worse
In all that time

I lived under that spell
I was caught in my own private hell
In all that time

And i had lost all of my power, my faith and my belief
In all that time
And i had lost all hope
I was clutching at a burning rope
Helpless like a child
In all that time

I should have
Let you know one thing
That what you saw
Was just my shadow

A skeleton disguised
A soul devitalised
A body caught in automation

I lay awake that night
Wishing you could hold me tight
I could as well have been dead
I never dared to say the words i should have said
I should have known
That it won't get better just by waiting
Or telling myself
That i would try to be a better man
And i should have known
That i ran away too often
Instead of moving on

In a silent world
I had lived without sight or sound
In all that time

You felt my distress
And i can only guess
What you've been through
In all that time

I should have let you know
That i had lost all of my power, my faith and my belief
In all that time
And i had lost all hope
I was clutching at a burning rope
Helpless like a child
In all that time

I should have
Let you know one thing
That what you saw
Was just my shadow

A skeleton disguised
A soul devitalised
A body caught in automation

I lay awake that night
Wishing you could hold me tight
I could as well have been dead
I never dared to say the words i should have said
I should have known
That it won't get better just by waiting
Or telling myself
That i would try to be a better man
And i should have known
That i ran away too often
Instead of moving on
Instead of moving on
