Desperately I try to find
The words to say what's on my mind
Can't decide between two kinds
Water drowning me in time
Soon there will be nothing left
Nothing to turn back to
And it will all be regret
Right now my mind is sanctuary
And to it I return
Tired, sobbing and weary.

The Air smells of salt
And the cold wind
Brings it closer
I can sense them
The waves crashing
But they are not here
Why must the air torment me?
Why can't it content me?
Oh wind, sweet wind
Take me far away
Take me to the mountaintops
Where you often play!
Take me to the sea
And together you and me
Will dance upon the waves
And explore the hidden caves
Why must I be stuck to this earth?
Planted here by weight and gravity?
If only I could travel like the wind
Then contented I would be.

She watched the rain,
fall.  
It formed pools on the ground outside her window.  
Her cup of tea had cooled and
still the rain fell.  
The steps of yesterday echoed
through the hall.  
Joyful memories told unto all.  
Still it trickled down the windowpane
Slipping into oblivion
Beyond the glimpse of reality
Through parted eyelashes
She watched the rain
Weather mirroring nothing
But an empty page
A life unlived
Except for the words
I love you
And nothing more.

Where is the armor
That I used to wear
to hide
Where is the shelter
I used to find
inside
I fear you
Even though
I've got nothing to hide
The truth hurts love
Sit back and let me cry
Sometimes I need to be
alone
Sometimes I'm done
Pretending I'm grown
I've aged so much
And changed so little
But when I look at you
All I want to do is smile

Can’t find the a new lease on life
In this burnt out town

Can’t find a goal or a dream
In these forlorn streets

I’m haunted by my memories
Most of the time
I’m haunted by my memories
Can’t keep them inside

I need to run
to feel free
to fall upon the ground in front of me
I can’t lie
I’d rather jump than stay
Even though the ground is so far away

I won’t accept
This failure anymore
My history is such a bore

Hang tight darling
We’re gonna fall
All the way
Out of my fading memory

Because I can’t find a new lease on life
In this god forsaken town

Can’t find a goal or a dream
In these dead end streets

I’m haunted by my memories
So I’m going to leave them all behind

I need to run
To feel free
To fall upon the ground in front of me
I can’t lie
I’d rather jump than stay
Because maybe the ground isn’t so far away

So hang tight darling
We’re gonna fall
Because maybe the ground isn’t so far away after all

It’s funny how it happened
It’s sad now that it’s over
A fitting end
To a messed up world
All us pawns too small to see

The sky will still be pretty
The grass will still be green,
But I still think we’ve lost something…
Just between you and me.

Because the world’s a little darker
And my feet keep getting lost
An itch to wander
Always stronger
Than my will to stand still

All the bright lights
In all the cities
More power there
Can’t even comprehend
Electricity pumping
Through our concrete veins
Keeps the stars from showing
The light seeps out and
Keeps us in the dark

But in our hearts
We all crave attention
Like the lights
Shining Bright
That illuminate
Our skies

So take a deep breath
And take a step back
The sky will still be pretty
The grass will still be green,
But we’ve lost something…
Haven’t we?
