What Once Was Lyrics



Everything I use to know

Starts to slip away

Pull it out from under me

Take apart the day



Bathing in the afterglow

Gone without a trace

Reaching down to feel the floor

Falling from your grace



I think you know my position

I couldn't possibly hesitate

I'd really like to sit and listen

But it's a little bit too late



Cause what once was a will never be again

You shout it out as you descend

What once was will never be again

You shout it out as you descend



Living in a blue seclusion

Surrounded by a crowd

Coming to a new conclusion

Keep your voices down

Watch the faithful gather round

They wouldn't miss the show

Selling saviors by the pound

Everybody knows



I think you know my position

I couldn't possibly hesitate

I'd really like to sit and listen

But it's a little bit too late



Cause what once was will never be again

You shout it out as you descend

What once was will never be again

You shout it out as you descend
