Lyrics for Finally Over

Two, three, four I've been wounded My blood's been flowing Felt such pain I've never known Sure as it started, now it's all forgotten As I got smaller, I've surely grown At every finger, I feel the universe In every eye, an ocean stirs In every head, I see a forest But in my ears, there's just one word Then I knew it was over, finally over I've got no more nights to roam Then I knew it was over, finally over I am looking at my soul Suburban hills with dying grasses City parks with lakes of naked ice In every steeple, choir bells ringing Old wrinkled women you won't love twice Little children with old men's faces Playing games with people's lives Every door blowing open Vice is love and love is vice Then I knew it was over, finally over I got no more lives to roam Then I knew it was over, finally over I am looking at my soul Look out of any window There's someone looking in Tell me how they finished when they never did begin One man's hell's a heaven, another's heaven a hell Everyone is lonely until they meet themselves A hand is resting upon my shoulder Like a woman's kisses upon the mud And still my mind is partly blind Like fishes swimming in a sea of blood My friend Sam forgot his father He also lost his mother, friend Then all the sudden, it didn't matter ' Cause the horizon proved the end Then I knew it was over, finally over I got no more lives to roam Then I knew it was over, finally over I am looking at my soul
