Song lyrics
Once upon a time I was of the mind
To lay your burden down
And leave you where you stood
And you believed I could
You'd seen it done before
I could read your thoughts
Tell you what you saw
And never say a word
Now all that is gone
Over with and done-never to return

I can tell you why
People die alone
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun

Staring at the loss
Looking for a cause
And never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned

I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun

Shapes of every size
Move behind my eyes
Doors inside my head
Bolted from within
Every drop of flame
Lights a candle in
Memory of the one
Who lives inside my skin

I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you I'm
The shadow on the sun

This was my favourite song a while ago... Now I've grown a little bit tired of it... but it's still great!

How could you not like Collateral? I thought it was a brilliant movie.

And this song...When I got tired of my roommate playing it, and tired of the raspy voice...I decided to checked what Cornell was singing about, and now I love this song. The lyrics are nothing short of BRILLIANT.

I also heard the song on Collateral, and I hated the movie, so this song saved me from flying into the wall

anyway..
I love it, and audioslave, and chris cornell
