Shadow on the Sun
Audioslave
~~*~~
Once upon a time
I was of the mind
To lay your burden down
And leave you where you stood
And you believed I could
You'd seen it done before
I could read your thoughts
And tell you what you saw
And never say a word
But now all that is gone
Over with and done
Never to return
And I can't tell you why people die alone
I can tell you I'm a shadow on the sun
Staring at the loss
Looking for the cause
And never really sure
Nothin' but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned
And I can't tell you why people go insane
I can show you how you could do the same
I can't tell you why the end will never come
I can tell you I'm a shadow on the sun
Shapes of every size
Move behind my eyes
Doors inside my head
Bolted from within
Every drop of flame
Lights a candle in
A memory of the one
Who lived inside my skin
And I can't tell you why people go insane
I can show you how you could do the same
I can't tell you why the end will never come
I can tell you I'm a shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Sun!
Sun!

A song that will forever remind me
It's also featured in Collateral,
one of my all-time favorite films.
It's Chris Cornell at his very best,
a shining talent lost to us all too soon.
His lyrics are raw, are very near to the skin of things,
and unignorable if you're anything like me.
Maybe you are.
