Lyrics 

   I've been despised 
   By the happiness living my life
   You opened your eyes
   The sun will awaken the skies
   And all you feared will soon pass you by

   So many times
   The question is the answer I'm livin'
   And I passed you by
   While the pretty girl wakes in the sky
   And dons/dawn's her disguise

   I haven't a clue
   How I am or how I'm supposed to do
   I wanted to choose
   What I lost and how I'm supposed to lose

   Bridge
   So far beyond the passive blue
   For all my tears, all over you
   To see the truth opposing True
   And I can't see a pattern or wiser fool

   Chorus 1
   And I'm free from body
   Walk the narrow road
   As you start to see the party
   Life is unspoken; it's unbroken

   (Repeat verse 3)
   (Repeat Bridge)

   Chorus 2
   And I'm free from body
   Walk the narrow road
   As you start to see the party
   I'll keep your spoken words
   Take back your prize
   As you realize your fields of pearls will shine
   And a joyful tear escapes from your eye



   ...and I wish you were here.
