The winds are shifting my troubled mind
My heart's sick of not being with it's kind
When the sun goes down and the sky is thin
I've learned to stop asking where you've been
Alone again I cover my own tracks
I push regrets away but my heart can't leave the past
The stars surprise me with the fact that I still stand
I've learned to stop asking who I am
Ooh I'm howling at the moon again
Ooh it seems to be my only true friend
Ooh I stuck my hand in the beast's mouth again
It bit down and the teeth sunk in
I took solace in your eyes
Before I ever learned about space and time
Permanence is a fantasy so unkind
I've learned to stop trying to change your mind
