Hey hey, I've changed I'm not the same No not the same I still talk too much About life and such Things But it was yesterday, no Oh no, no no My sister crying on the doorstep As I left Behind Those familiar times Familiar times And I watched, expressionless, As I left As I left So why do I feel this way? Have I no sympathy? No feelings, no tears, Over the years I refused to look back Feet set upon my tracks Feeling guilty and saddened In my frozen wasteland What does this mean? Where is my heart? Perhaps countless tears Tore it apart ripped wide open, left unspoken Over the years Reassurance allayed my fears I knew I'd come back again again Knew it wasn't the end No not the end, no But still Those tears, She shed, This hollow, I dread Like where did It end My emotion spent I'm so cold, so cold! So why do I feel this way? Have I no sympathy? No feelings, no tears, Over the years I refused to look back Feet set upon my tracks Feeling guilty and saddened In my frozen wasteland Frozen over, all snow and ice Hiding in the shadows, as dark as night Stars above this frozen wasteland Where my heart shattered and solitude began So thaw me out, be my fire Return my heart, for I require Those feelings I had, coz' I don't want to die So please, oh please, please bring me to life coz I don't wanna die coz I don't wanna die coz I don't wanna die coz I don't wanna die No not tonight! So why do I feel this way? why do I, feel this way Have I no sympathy? no sympathy No feelings, no tears, Over the years over the years I refused to look back Feet set upon my tracks Feeling guilty and saddened In my frozen wasteland With tears running down her face And a hollow chest I leave this place My frozen wasteland

Frozen Wasteland
Hey hey, I've changed I'm not the same No not the same I still talk too much About life and such Things But it was yesterday, no Oh no, no no My sister crying on the doorstep As I left Behind Those familiar times Familiar times And I watched, expressionless, As I left As I left So why do I feel this way? Have I no sympathy? No feelings, no tears, Over the years I refused to look back Feet set upon my tracks Feeling guilty and saddened In my frozen wasteland What does this mean? Where is my heart? Perhaps countless tears Tore it apart ripped wide open, left unspoken Over the years Reassurance allayed my fears I knew I'd come back again again Knew it wasn't the end No not the end, no But still Those tears, She shed, This hollow, I dread Like where did It end My emotion spent I'm so cold, so cold! So why do I feel this way? Have I no sympathy? No feelings, no tears, Over the years I refused to look back Feet set upon my tracks Feeling guilty and saddened In my frozen wasteland Frozen over, all snow and ice Hiding in the shadows, as dark as night Stars above this frozen wasteland Where my heart shattered and solitude began So thaw me out, be my fire Return my heart, for I require Those feelings I had, coz' I don't want to die So please, oh please, please bring me to life coz I don't wanna die coz I don't wanna die coz I don't wanna die coz I don't wanna die No not tonight! So why do I feel this way? why do I, feel this way Have I no sympathy? no sympathy No feelings, no tears, Over the years over the years I refused to look back Feet set upon my tracks Feeling guilty and saddened In my frozen wasteland With tears running down her face And a hollow chest I leave this place My frozen wasteland
To Khaidee, my youngest sister. I am sorry that I seem so emotionless, but I learnt that thinking about all of you, and about leaving, leads to my sadness. Which is something I can't deal with anymore. I guess.... I switched off. I am sorry
