The shining of things

Take my word for it this never should've happened

What in the world do you think got into me ?

We fire at will and as we watch the pieces shatter

We find we're closer than we've ever been

She calls my name and I come running

I have lost the voice I listened to

And in the blindness as my world stops turning

There's a sadness like I never knew

But I still see the shining of things

As the morning breaks it hardly seems to matter

I hear a shallowness in everything I say

We've played the night out in all too familiar fashion

To wear the heartache through another day

She calls my name and I come running

I have lost the voice I listened to

And there's a stillness now the rains stopped falling

And there's a sadness like I never knew

But I see the shining of things
