lyrics

I
how many times will I have to try?
I’m giving up hope again
It’s all a joke again

We
are young but getting old before our time
Does it make sense to you?
as I’m riding that fence with you?

In these foolish games we play
Mind’s eye searches for the way

There I go again
the original sin


Why?
Loneliness with hands possesses me
and my body shakes once more
a thousand retakes once more

and I’d cry
liquid apologies enough for two
but tears don’t come nor do regrets
I can’t feel my guilt, but I can’t forget.

Dancing shadows show the way
I can’t pin down what’s been portrayed

There I go again
the original sin


I
debate the person in my head
While serpents speak again
knowledge makes me weak again

But I rise,
though shame dulls my blind eyes
I have to try once more
I have to find the door

Between the glory and the flame
I sweat for knowledge without name

There I go again
the original sin
