Mesmerized - Circle of Dust

These hollow bones

Before you bare

In the secret sins

I’d never shared

Felt myself slipping away

Into someone who could understand

And be my only friend

As time passes me by

You leave me mesmerized

Both of damaged soul

And of lifeless heart

Oh, how you have shown

Of the place to start

Felt myself stripping away

From what I’ve held to for so long

I’ve just begun to fail

As time passes me by

You leave me mesmerized

Mesmerized!

Mesmerized

Mesmerized!

Mesmerized

Mesmerized!

Mesmerized

Mesmerized!

(Mesmerized)

As time passes me by

You leave me mesmerized

You leave me mesmerized!

Mesmerized

You leave me mesmerized!

Mesmerized

Words will always fail

So have I and I tried making any sort of difference

Fighting to accept and in the end I plead

To see you walk away and you do and so have I and it can never be repaired

Only a shallow space where once a heart existed

To feel so much yet so little

To define my last regrets is this final wish that can never be forgiven

Never — not by anyone

Never by myself

And most of all is the kind of peace that I can never hope to see the light of

any better day

Again and again I have fallen down beneath the seams a final time

The only obstacle that exists is you — this fate

A paradox it seems — to punish me the most is the one that has shown the most

concern and love

Never mind the definition of that word

I thought I once could understand

But I realize now I haven’t got a clue
