lyrics

i can look at myself from a distance
i can watch me walk right by
somewhere warm is a heart that's beating
but the rest of me has long since died
and i imagine us from a distance
with two hellos and one goodbye
somewhere deep the potential is building
but the rest of us has already cried

and i have hope that a flower is growing
in a quiet place on a mountainside
but her fragile beauty will never be noticed
cause the rest of the world has long turn blind

and had i known that her spirit was drowning
i'd have faked a smile and left that night
with my conscience light as the voice of an angel
and my feet weighed down like a mother's heart

cause someone told me the darkness is brighter
where the flower grows on the mountainside
but my tragedy is never to meet her
cause my arms are numb and my legs won't climb
