I used to shine the perfect borrowed light
It wasn't mine and it was taken overnight
Shame traces the edges of your face
Fully lit, independent of this place
Oh, help me not to see
Oh, diamond wedding rings
His counterfeited things
Well, I've been borrowed
Shame on me
My muse is gone, forsaken of the theme
No motto now, no cradle, no dream
Bathed with a soft, embezzled light
Six feet below an idealistic life
But I still want these things
The flighted childhood dreams
As foolish as they seem
Well, I've been taken
Shame on me
I used to shine
It wasn't mine
Shame
Fully lit
Now only sweet little wishful things
Are bound and gagged, tied up in different strings
No living castles up in the sky
Far away, unborrowed clouds go by
Well, I've been taken
Shame on me
But I still want these things
The flighted childhood dreams
As foolish as they seem
Well, I've been taken
Shame on me
