I climbed the mountains and crossed the seas.
I had this whole world right down on its knees.
I made my ways through the Chinese caves.
I turned these empty plots right into graves.
chorus:
I've seen all kinds of pain.
I had my memories go right down the drain.
Now I've come here to share some things.
I hope you feel the same way.
Call the doctor,
I can't take this ache.
Bones are cracked,
Now my brain's about to break.
Found in the shallow end beneath the stars,
got tattooed to hide these scars.
chorus.
And I know from whence I came
is what brought me here.
With the lights out,
I finally see it so clear.
I've been way too tired to ever sleep.
Strangeways here it comes,
my mind and my body.
If I take just a little bit of faith.
If I take just a little too long.
Try to forgive me,
all I have done here is not wrong.
chorus.
