Shatters Within Lyrics by Amorphis

Am Universum

2001

[Verse 1]
Once I was there
Standing outside
Looking in
Beside my window
Smiling face, shattering

It's an old man's pride
That climbs over understanding
It wasn't your child
That I was hurting

[Pre-Chorus]
And I turn my back to the world
Well I don't care
What can I say if I see you all as dead

And I turn my back to the world
Well I don't care
What can I say if I see you all as dead

[Chorus]
Under the dying sun it comes
Weaving fear but I have none
I know that mushroom cloud
Won't come very near
What do you have to believe in
And all the poison you breathe in
The crystal heart shatters within

[Verse 2]
Once I was there
Standing outside
Moving in
Inside my window
Crying face, shattering

Take all that you have
And leave the rest now for today
It's the old folk's sign
That took away for chastity

[Pre-Chorus]
And I turn my back to the world
Well I don't care
What can I say if I see you all as dead

And I turn my back to the world
Well I don't care
What can I say if I see you all as dead

[Chorus]
Under the dying sun it comes
Weaving fear but I have none
I know that mushroom cloud
Won't come very near
What do you have to believe in
And all the poison you breathe in
The crystal heart shatters within

Shatters within
Shatters within
Shatters within
Shatters within
