lyrics

Here I sit in the empty castle
All the guests have gone away
They once came and went so freely
But one day they left to stay
Only memory remains in here now
And those begin to fade
They always thought that they could return
Something gone, something replaced

But in my open eyes I can see it clearly
Lost and gone away

As I'm here now, I can feel it right beneath my skin
And it lingers, something still remains of what has been
And in moving on, the memories start to slip away
Hidden somewhere in the corners of my mind

Here I sit as I gaze in wonder
Through a foggy windowpane
Through the glass I can see them moving
Spinning in circles, ever the same
All around I can see the statues
Standing frozen in time
Forever waiting for the reveal
Of a future already defined

But in my open eyes I can see it clearly
Lost and gone away

As I'm here now, I can feel it right beneath my skin
And it lingers, something still remains of what has been
And in moving on, the memories start to slip away
Hidden somewhere in the corners of my mind

In my open eyes I can see it clearly
Lost and gone away
Lost and gone away
Lost and gone away
Lost and gone away
