So now your young bones have grown tired
And the lines on your face they don't lie
As you drift like a ghost through the night
And the stars in your eyes have all died
And the stars in your eyes have all died
So now you would have me believe
That somewhere I hold all the keys
That will open the doors to your dreams
But in truth you have always been free
But in truth you have always been free
And I knew you when
I knew you when
So now you softly slip away
Your pale skin turns concrete grey
As the poison pumps through your veins
And I cry as your life slowly fades
And I cry as your life slowly fades
And I knew you when
I knew you when
