Byron Black Lyrics by Autopilot Off

Make a Sound

2004

[Verse 1]
I met a man named Byron Black
And he carried his life strapped to his back
On a sidewalk in Houston he called home
Crying: "Don't you forget me"
He said: "Don't you forget me"
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't know what it's like to walk alone
You don't know and I hope you never will
[Chorus]
Every stride wears the soul more thin
'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing
Every stride wears the soul more thin
'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing
[Post-Chorus]
And what can I do now?
[Verse 2]
Faces of people he would see
They were colder than any city street
And the days go on and on and they just walk by
He said: "I'm disappearing"
He said: "I'm disappearing"
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't know what it's like to walk alone
You don't know and I hope you never will
[Chorus]
Every stride wears the soul more thin
'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing
Every stride wears the soul more thin
'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing
[Verse 3]
And we all were given names
But our hearts don't work the same
By-products of evolution
Lost souls looking for a lost solution now
[Bridge]
(Every stride wears the soul more thin)
('Til it's slowly worn down to nothing)
[Chorus]
Every stride wears the soul more thin
'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing
Every stride wears the soul more thin
'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing
[Outro]
Every stride wears the soul more thin
(And I want to know where the lost souls go)
'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing
(And if we're all all alone then we are nothing)
No!
