  The midday sky was grey and purple
  At least  it wasn't  blue
  I want  the sky  to be  the way
  I am  and what  I do
  For I have been a lost and lonely /* chords for these lines are the */
  Sailor on your sea /* same as for the first four */
  Run aground by trusting signals
  You were sending me.

 2) The streets are filled with empty faces
  Nothing here is new
  It's just the same in other places
  I have journeyed to
  I was the first across the water
  Last upon the land
  I walked out of the silver mine
  My pockets full of sand.
 B) Alone inside my head /* chords the same as for 1) */
  Alone inside my room
  I feel alone inside my head
  Alone inside my tiny little world
 
 3) It's not my life in those old pictures
  Once you threw away
  For I was always someone else
  And always far away
  Walking in the darkest places
  Where the mission meets
  Waiting for the ground to open up
  Beneath my feet.
