By Those That Pass Before Me

from Memories & Ghosts by Mark Ayling

lyrics

THROWN INTO MY LIFE LIKE A STRANGER ON A TRAIN
ONCE YOU STEPPED OFF, WE WENT OUR SEPARATE WAYS
AND I NEVER GOT TO SAY GOODBYE

I REALLY WISH I'D TRIED

FOR ONE BRIEF SHINING MOMENT IN TIME
THE WORLD WAS AT OUR FEET, FLYING SO HIGH
WE WERE AIMING FOR THE TOP TO STAND SO TALL AND PROUD
BUT BENEATH OUR FEET, THE PAVEMENT WAS
COLD AND EMPTY
BLACKENED WITH VANITY
CRAWLING WITH FAILURE
WORN AWAY BY THOUSANDS
THAT PASS BEFORE ME

BY THOSE THAT PASS BEFORE ME
