once in a thousand years i wake up
i take off my shadow cover
and put out the candle light
turn my head to the wind
and open my mouth which has been dried out for years

i rememeber all my failures
and my sorry excuses for
all the things i missed
i got frustrated and absorved
just for what use am i winning?
just for what use am i for?

the silence that we're having
it was all i could get out
all the connections are broken
because of the things i lacked
it gets you when it's easy
when you're finally out of your shell
when nothing stands in your way

once in a thousand years i wake up
i open my eyes to see what's left of it all
once in a lifetime i don't care
