There is the one ceiling the lies
A fine veil over your eyes
Even the ocean holding the tide
Your hopes while you’re slaving for time
This is the one who knows no regret
Who knows who you are
You’ve never met but
One day he’ll find you
Where ever you are
Owner of land he never walked on
All shadows even the sun
All shadows even the sun
Without a doubt he knows how to count your tears
There is the one ceiling the lies
A fine veil over your eyes
Wake up one day and you’ll realize how
Hard you’ve been running most of your life
All shadows even the sun
All shadows even the sun
Without a doubt he knows how to count your tears
He waves at the old with his back to the wall
Waves at the young the lost the bored
Giving the sad eye while in his mind
You’re not adding straws to the pile
Maybe he’ll give you a few more years
Placing the time glass on your stairs
From that day life’s caving in
You’ll blame yourself no one ever blames him
All shadows even the sun
All shadows even the sun
Without a doubt he knows how to count your tears
