New genesis

Coming to that quiet place we made

Hand held close to my chest

Darling, I've got a secret I need let out

Won't you help?

Won't you help me again?

 

I've gone through it all standing on my own two feet

Been the subject of ridicule and the piece of this world

Totally ignored

Drinking from the wells splashing deep within the earth

Can't help but to get another drink

Shoud've got up and moved on

Can't help but to get another drink

 

As we walk, we tear our souls from our bodies

As we run, we say to them that they're too heavy to carry

All I ask, All I want

Is just a single word

Okay

Fine

Salvation

 

Sinking ever so more deeper in the recesses of this chair

Struggling to hold on to reality and things seen not there

How I wish you could see

My head is twirling round and round and round

Long ago it wasn't like this

And far from now it will stop for sure

But, for now, I just can't keep up with you

 

I've let loose my soul, broke my eyes

Burned my tongue, and hid my ears

Oh baby, all I can do is feel you out

Can't say I want to change that

 

For those watching this tragedy in the making

Take note of the change from disgust to hero

I don't want you to miss the point I'm trying to make

No, don't want that at all

 

With feelings going in and out

With sadness complementing the joy

I feel like I'm on a tightrope

I just want to know

Which way to go

Can't be this hard, can it?

 

I don't think, I don't think it's going to be the same anymore

All my dreams are smashed on the ground

Can't even see them anymore.

 

In sixty seconds I'll have gone past the horizon

In an hour or two I'll pass through the waves of torment

Kind friends, tell me

What is it that makes things go away?

 

I've searched long and hard for an anwer

And come up to only a subtle piano key

Being played

I've made every doubt perish

Every thought die

Still it lingers

Still it lingers in my eyes

 

We've pushed through things we didnt' know were there

And forgot those with which we built bridges to

And, to end it all, we've come this far

 

II.

 

Things change and roll on

I've lost every sensation but memory

Taken from me everything

Stolen in the night

Passion misplaced

Ransacked houses
