(V1)

On some island far away

Somewhere inside my mind

Dreaming retraces my steps

To the end I fall behind

Nothing I've ever known

Has survived the fall

And what was mine

Was really yours after all

I'm falling down this stairway to heaven

Will I ever reach my end

(C)

Is this my blessed sin

Is my heart forever part of him

And as the rain's been tearing down his lies

I wonder, will I make it out alive

(V2)

Don''t cry don't cry my precious one

The barbs are only a part of you

Through your mind's insanity

Your cruelty and pain are long past due

Fill that hole, replace the piece

Let the darkness disappear

Lose your conscious

Shred the newspaper tears

And you don't try don't realize

It's not the wounds that make us die

(C1

Is this my blessed sin

Is my heart forever part of him

And as the rain's been tearing down his lies

I wonder, will I make it out alive

(C2)

He's crawling underneath my skin

And now my sight begins to dim

Don't tell the truth and don't ask why

I won't make it out of this alive
