Fuel - Stripped Away



I must have left my soul cracked open

like a door. . .

in the night. . .



Seizing the opportunity

while i lay there sleeping

all the beggars and thieves walked in

and they stole

all i stored inside



I woke to find

a shell of a man

and all i had once believed . . .



Stripped away . . .

Stripped away



Well i sat at Satan's table

and I drank the wine

in a feast of revelry

Till my eyes were red and swollen

and my soul was so held with stains

that just won't come clean



and i tell myself

that i am in youth

What all i could achieve



Stripped away . . .

Stripped away



Well i stared at my own reflection

But i know that those eyes can't be me

My sprit floats in desperation

on dreams like I've never seen



So i reach for you

and draw you near

and pray that you won't be. . .
