Mystery

I see through a mist, I see through your tears
Before you existed, you disappeared
You do yourself harm and you cause yourself pain
I used to believe everything could be explained
But you are a mystery

I ask you no questions so you tell me no lies
Your silence is frozen but you can’t tell me why
So much to lose, so little to gain
I used to believe everything could be explained
Right down through history

A single word of darkness waiting on your tongue
Lets me know I’m lost before I’ve even begun
Beating your retreat out of the sun

For loving or for money
From Shipwreck to shore
To the ends of the earth
There’s a world outside your door
I lay a ghost while you lay the blame
I used to believe everything could be explained
Now it’s lost on me

Planet stuck open mouthed
Am I still drinking, am I headed south?
Should I feel guilty, should I be ashamed
I used to believe everything could be explained
But you are a mystery
