General Information
Written by: A. Lee, T. Balsamo
Terry Balsamo's favorite song on The Open Door, and the song Amy's finding it most fun to play live from The Open Door. The piano is the principal instrument for this song. It displays the maturity of the band’s new sound. The choir once again appears, causing the end of the song to be really epic. It includes a piano solo of 41 seconds, but it continues after a second bridge (All my fears [..] own way out now) and to the end of the song.
Amy's description of the song: [1]
"A couple of years ago, I felt so alone that I was dreading going on tour. We had just arrived in Lisbon and I was in my room feeling jet-lagged, weird and tired. I had just been home where I could see the stars at night. But when I looked out the hotel window in Lisbon, I couldn't see anything because we were in this big city. That was the last straw. I felt so depressed, I just started singing this song."
During the bridge, the background choir sings "Alma surdo, loucura, onde esta seu alma? Loucura, todo sozinho" (Portuguese with some mistakes) which means "Deaf soul, madness, where is its soul? Madness, all alone" in English. In correct portuguese it would be "Alma surda, loucura, onde está sua alma? Loucura, toda sozinha"

Lyrics
I can't see your star
I can't see your star
Though I patiently waited, bedside
For the death of today
I can't see your star
The mechanical lights of Lisbon
Frightened it away
And I'm alone now
Me and all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts in pieces, swim lonely
Find your own way out
I can't see your star
I can't see your star
How can the darkness feel so wrong?
And I'm alone now
Me and all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts in pieces, swim lonely
Find your own way out
So far away
It's growing colder without your love
Why can't you feel me calling your name?
Can't break the silence
It's breaking me
Alma surda, loucura, onde está sua alma?
All my fears
Loucura, toda sozinha
turn to rage
And I'm alone now
Me and all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely
Find your own way out now
Alone now, yeah
And nothing worth fighting for
We’re wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely
Find your own way out
