Left here long ago was passing through the years
I was waiting for the day chasing a distant star while the sun just slipped away

Lost my way long ago was running in circles
I was drifting through the night tracing a fading star moving slowly out of sight

Lost my way, I lost my way back then now it seems I'm lost, it seems I'm lost again

I left here long ago was someone else back then
I left here long ago now I'm leaving again
I lost my way long ago was somewhere else back then
I Lost my way back then and now I'm lost again

Everything changes
Everyone moves apart

Left here long ago now I'm staring into space
As my thoughts drift back to you
I'm facing a falling star moving swiftly out of view

Left here way, I left here way back then now I'm leaving, I'm leaving again

I left here long ago was someone else back then
I left here long ago now I'm leaving again
I lost my way long ago was somewhere else back then
I lost my way back then and now I'm lost again

I left here long ago was someone else back then
I left here long ago now I'm leaving again
I lost my way long ago was somewhere else back then
I lost my way back then and now I'm lost again

Stand right there man
I can see right through you
Make me understand the mind within your head

Yeah, I am a simple human like you
Yeah, I am a simple human too

Speak what's on your mind
A simple thought, a reason
Some self righteous blind deconstructive thinking
I want to rip it away
I want to tear it down
Don't be afraid
You can't feel anything

Yeah, I am a simple human like you
Yeah, I am a simple human too

We're all caught
It's like a giant tangled web
We're all trapped going nowhere

Now you know, now you know
Now you know, now you know

Yeah, I am a simple human like you
Yeah, I am a simple human too
Yeah, I am a simple human like you
Yeah, I am a stupid human too

Her, with her loving eyes
Her, with her open arms
A shelter in the night as we drift into sleep
A soothing voice singing river wide ocean deep

Her, with her vacant eyes
Her, with her withered arms
A vague promise of rain overhead storm clouds creep
A distant voice thundering river wide ocean deep

Her, with her wild eyes
Her, with her clutching arms
A tempest pouring down a flood no wall can keep
A drowning voice crying river wide ocean deep

"I don't know what's happening...
excuse me, I'm babbling."

The ties that bind are the ties we keep and she cried river wide ocean deep
The ties that bind are the ties we keep until we sleep, until we sleep

You tell me you love me and I wonder why
The sun is overhead but I can't see past the clouds in my eye
You show me what is real and I just pretend
Another perfect day and I wonder how it all will end

Another perfect day and I will hide away from all the sights and sounds
Another perfect day and I will walk away from all the light that surrounds

Shadows embrace this room as I draw the shades tight
Close the curtains, shut out the day shut out the light

Another perfect day and I will hide away from all the sights and sounds
Another perfect day and I will walk away from all the light that surrounds

Lying awake again restless in this bed
Summer night whispers soft but I can't sleep through the noise in my head
Soon the sun is rising and I just descend
Another perfect day and I wonder when it all will end

Another perfect day and I will hide away from all the sights and sounds
Another perfect day and I will walk away from all the light that surrounds

Another perfect day for me to hide away from all the sights and sounds
Another perfect day for me to walk away from all the light that surrounds

I move in slow motion
And the world is no longer at my heels

I wither and falter somehow
I wither and fall silent now

Sometimes I say too much even when there is no one listening

I wither and falter somehow
I wither and fall silent now

Hey, are you out there did you feel my sacrifice
Hey, do you see me can you really be that blind
Hey, can you hear me are you out there in the night

I'm haunted by your voice and you are satisfied
Your words are the cross I bear and I am crucified
Heal me

Hey, have I reached you
Are you too far gone now
Take a look around you
Is this what you had in mind

I'm haunted by your voice and you are satisfied
Your words are the cross I bear and I am crucified
Heal me

And now I've reached a part of me that I know shouldn't be
A certain kind of calm a false tranquility
I see now what's in the dark
It's looking back at me
I see now what's in the dark
I'm looking back at me

Heal me
Heal me
Heal me

I'm haunted by your voice and you are satisfied
Your words are the cross I bear and I am crucified
Heal me

Down beneath my underlying thoughts there lurks a silent scream
How can I breath when the weight of words crash down on me?

And I feel stranded
I can't take it
I'm wandering lost

Don't make me comfort you
Don't make me crawl inside your head
Don't make me comfort you
Don't make me crawl, crawl, crawl

I will take apart the view and you will take apart the scene
Take away the mask of innocence it doesn't suit you

Don't make me comfort you
Don't make me crawl inside your head
Don't make me comfort you
Don't make me crawl, crawl, crawl

And I feel stranded
I won't take it
I'm wandering lost

Don't make me comfort you
Don't make me crawl inside your head
Don't make me comfort you
Don't make me crawl, crawl, crawl

Don't make me comfort you
Don't make me crawl inside your head
Don't make me comfort your
Don't make me crawl, crawl, crawl

Seven hours
And a handful of doubt
The candle burns quick now and time is running out
I never asked for this yet somehow here we are
I never asked for this now I can't live without

Time moves
Time heals
Time slips
Time steals

Forty pages and a handful of doubt
The eyes are tired now and the words are fading out
I never asked for this yet somehow here we are
I never asked for this now I can't live without

Time flies
Time fills
Time wastes
Time kills

I will leave behind all of the hours
I will find a way, a way out
I will walk away from all the years with a handful of doubt, a handful of doubt

I will leave behind all of the pages
I will live without, live without
I will walk away far from here with just a handful of doubt, a handful of doubt

Twenty years and a handful of doubt
The candle burns quick now and time is running out

Something in me
I don't understand, a demand a threatening voice with a firm command
A liar, a danger a killer, a stranger

Yeah, I guess that's me

I will extol you
I will control you
I will pick you up just to let you down
I will desire you
I will tire of you
I will pull you in just to see you drown

Someone in me
I don't recognize, a disguise
A faint reflection with far away eyes
A liar, a danger a killer, a stranger

Yeah, I guess that's me

I will extol you
I will control you
I will build you up just to tear you down
I will desire you
I will tire of you
I will pull you in just to see you drown

I will extol you
I will control you
I will lift you up just to drag you down
I will desire you
I will tire of you
I will pull you in just to see you drown

Was standing in the darkness
I was watching over you
And all the fears came drifting back with every little breath you drew
Wished upon a falling star cold and pale against the night and all the fears came drifting back to cloud the view and steal the light

Was underneath a falling snow
I was lying next to you and all the fears came floating down with every little wind that blew
Wished upon a passing cloud cold and pale against the gray and all the fears came floating down to cloud the view and steal the day

May you never know this darkness may you never be so blind
May you always know the peace that I could never seem to find

May you never know this darkness may you always see the light
May you always know the peace that comforts you tonight
