There's a man who lives in hell
All his life, he's been there
He walks and stalks like a brighter day
But he's stuck in those memories that never fade
All alone, he watched us grow
From strangers, to lovers, to everyone you know
He kept a secret, never told
A secret so wretched, it stole his soul
This man is broken, inside and out
His face is weary from all those traveling hours
He sits quietly, never speaking a word
Holding this secret inside his world
A breath is drawn and then let go
What is his secret?
You'll never know
For he is wise beyond his years
He's traveled many miles to be right here
He sits aside the drifting sea
Of faces and souls that have company
But here he is, alone and cold
Keeping his secret, never to be told
