Lyrics The Man That Walked Away - Gabriela Zapata

The man that walked away was lost inside a shell
The man that walked away was lost inside himself
He could not see the light
Inside the dark
Inside the dark

I only see the darkness
I don't see a way out
I don't see the starry sky

The man that walked away was no more than a shell
Inside his weary head, jaded storage cell
He could not see the colored butterflies
He could only see the world in black and white

When you only see the darkness
You don't see a way out
You don't see the starry sky

Nightjars witnessed my devotion
But potion turned to poison
His silence broke the spell
I've used up all my incantations
I won't be going back to raise him from the dead

The man that walked away was no more than a shell
And I'm done drawing water from an empty well
