Hold your face
And make me smile
Just seal your fate
And drag me down
You think it's all about you...
Pretend to bear
Release your fear
Return in me
But wound me deep
Reveal your pain
And raze our tie
Go turn me in
But touch my skin
Keep me
You reach far but
You want me
You need me
In silence we dwell
In silence we hate
In silence we kill
Keep me
You reach far but
You want me
You need me

And I thought I'd lose you in this war
And I thought we used to unroll miracles
And we - we used to turn this water into wine
And I believed our souls would intertwine
But you're stealing yourself away from my sight
Thought this was our night
Catching me up in the morning bright
And you lie straight to my face
While I'm sitting next to you
How can you...
While I'm lying next to you
How can I be sad when I'm next to you
Now I'm lightyears away though I'm next to you

Do you remember
When life would hold us dear?
And we enjoyed
All the laughter we could share in view of our past
And let the future come
We used to wonder
What promises we'd witness
When we used to dream
Dream together
Dream forever
Be together
Dream up forever
I'm still profound
But can I cope with my idea
Of seeing you someday?
Yes, I know you'll never return to this place
But after all
These years could've turned our mournings
Into joy and happiness
Happiness
Empty spaces
These empty days
(the original continues with the words:
Now I'm desperately trying to rid this fear
of planting my trust in anyone
And I'm losing my walk again
Fall into this seclusion
Now this anger is taking over here
Project my thoughts upon anyone
This tree has dried out
The leaves buried in oblivion as winter comes
The lesser lights - an awakening
The latter life is fading fast
Before my eyes
From my heart
Leaving lonesome into closure
We always knew we'd meet again)

All My Life

I’m so self-centered in my life
Ignored, abused your sacrifice
I am not alive
I’m turning back again this time
Never meant to leave you behind
I am not alive
And I’ll crawl to the place where you sigh
As you’re always with me - all my life
And I’ll search for I am unified
You’ll find that you’re always with me
All my life
But you still take me as I am
I see you’re right and I’m broken
I am not alive
I know I promised you one day
I'll never take the other way
But now I am alive
And I know you still care for me
You know my thoughts, you see through me
And I am sure you’ll find a way in me
