Verse 1
I met a man named Byron Black
And he carried his life
strapped to his back
On a sidewalk in Houston
he called home
Crying Don't you
forget me he said
Don't you forget me
Refrain
You don't know
What it's like
to walk alone
You don't know
And I hope you
never will
Chorus 1
Every stride
Wears the soul
more thin
Until it's slowly
worn down to nothing
Every stride
Wears the soul
more thin
Until it's slowly
worn down to nothing
And what can I do now?
Post Chorus: Bm--A-Bm--A-D--Bm--D--
Verse 2
Faces of people
he would see
They were colder
than any city street
And the days go on and on
And they just walk by he said
I'm disappearing he said
I'm disappearing
You don't know
(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge
Every hour gave
that mames
But our hearts
don't work the same
By products of
an evolution
Lost always looking
for a lost solution Now
Chorus 2
Silence
Every stride
Wears the soul
more thin
Until it's slowly
worn down to nothing
Chorus 3
Back to distortion
Every stride
Wears the soul
more thin
Until it's slowly
worn down to nothing
Every stride
Wears the soul
more thin
Until it's slowly
worn down to nothing
Every stride
Wears the soul
more thin
Until it's slowly
worn down to nothing no!!
