"Stripped Away" lyrics

"Stripped Away"

Well, I must have left my soul cracked open
Like a door in the night

Seizing the opportunity while I lay there sleeping
All the beggars and thieves walked in and they stole
All I stored inside

And I woke to find
A shell of a man
And all I had once believed

Stripped away
Stripped away

Well, I sat at Satan's table
And I drank the wine
In a feast of revelry
Till my eyes were red and swollen
And my soul was so held with stains
That just won't come clean

And I tell myself
That I am in youth
What all I could achieve

Stripped away
Stripped away

Well, I stared at my own reflection
But I know that those eyes can't be me
My spirit floats in desperation
On dreams like I've never seen

So I reach for you
And draw you near
And pray that you won't be

Stripped away
Stripped away
