Sirenia - Once a Star lyrics

Deep inside of me There's a river running wild and free Like I used to be As the years went by I became estranged to myself and my life A sequel of decay and strife Waning on… I lost my sanity so long ago I still don't know how this came to pa** I once was a star On top of everything I came across But now, alas! I'm right back at the start Beneath a darkened sky The river of life is running dry Still I don't know why It's hard to remain sane When all my glee has now been replaced by pain The only thing that still remains Waning on… I lost my sanity so long ago I still don't know how this came to pa** I once was a star On top of everything I came across But now, alas! I'm right back at the start All the things that slipped through my hands So many things I failed to understand Is this all there is for me, just a high ordeal It all seems to me so unreal Waning on… I lost my sanity so long ago I still don't know how this came to pa** I once was a star On top of everything I came across But now, alas! I'm right back at the start
