Mastodon

Flew beyond the sun before it was time
Burning all the gold that held me inside my shell
Waiting for you to pull me back in
I almost sat the world in my sights
Close, low bright eyes fading
Faster than stars falling
How can I tell you I failed?
Tell you I failed
Fallen from grace cause I been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion
I tried to bore a hole into the ground
Breaking all the fingers and the nails from my hand
The eyes of the child see no wrong
Ignorant bliss in
Close, low bright eyes fading
