Once I knew of the tangled webs
And once I knew just how to weave
Miraculous knots of my own invention-
Once, I knew how to believe.
But somehow, it was all lost
And somehow, I just can't remember...
How it felt to master those thickening ties
Which it seems I can now only dismember.
There is a place that continues to call
A place deep inside of my heart
But I can't quite hear the name that it beckons
I just know that it tears me apart.
Once, I knew these walls of stone
Where I locked my wandering mind
Once, I knew the ambition
Of the girl I left behind.
