Before The Rain
==============
Seven years have passed since I last held your hand
Seven years it has been hard for me to live without you
Yet somewhere deep inside I know there is light
Oh, there is light
Through the cul-de-sac I will go back
To that night before the rain
In the cul-de-sac I will come back
To that night before the rain
Still I don't know what happened on that dark lonely night
The sidewalk was broken and the shadows were deeper
Than I had ever seen in my life
And somehow I just knew I could feel, feel you
Somehow I just knew I could still feel you
Somehow I could just feel
I could just feel
I could feel
Through the cul-de-sac I will go back
To that night before the rain
In the cul-de-sac I will come back
To that night before the rain
Before the rain…
There's a whisper, just a whisper of pain
In the darkness I'll wrap myself in shadows so I could remain
So I could remain, so I could remain out of the rain
I could remain out of the rain
Through the cul-de-sac I will go back
To that night before the rain
In the cul-de-sac I will come back
To that night before the rain
Through the cul-de-sac maybe I'll come back
To that night before the rain
To that night before the rain
To that night before the rain
Before the rain…

Voices
======
Voices…
I hear voices
So many voices
In my mind
With a tug
At my gut
I feel them romance
My very breath
As I listen to
The gentle flickering
Within my eyes
For this is where
They guide
Voices…
Voices…
In my head
There's voices in my head
And I hear
They romance
My very breath
Listen to the
Gentle flickering
All these voices in my head
They won't stop whispering
The voices in my head
Won't stop whispering
Sweet nothings
Sweet nothings in my head
In my head
Sweet nothing…
Voices…
Whispering…
Sweet nothings…
In my head…

Sanity's Lapse
============
The wind blows
Across the dusty plain
The bodies of a million deer slowly decay
And I hear that voice again
Will I ever escape?
Will I ever get away?
It's like a prison
Even though it's a wide open space
I just keep wandering
North south east and west
And in the distance
A dense fog begins to form
Rolling across decaying grass
It envelopes me
It holds me
It pins me down
I get lost
Lost in its dense gaseous fray
And through that dense fog
Suddenly a light
A single point of light appears
Off in the distance
I try to move towards it
But every step I take
Every meagre centimetre I make
It gets further away
I feel like I've been walking for hours
Perhaps days
Perhaps months
Perhaps years
I don't know
It's so long
I'm just so lost in this dense fog on this dying plain
Will I ever get out again
Will I ever find home
Or am I destined simply to wander
A truant
A truant never at home
I guess we'll never know
'Cos I'm still lost
In the shadow of that once great hill
That slowly crumbled down into the sea
The sea where I could perhaps be free
Perhaps one day
One day I'll be free
I don't know if I'll ever get home
No I don't know if I'll ever get home
I'll just keep walking along this foggy path
Through the endless denseness of the fog
Hoping that one day
Maybe not too long
I'll get back home
Get back home
I'll get back home
She once said to me:
"Put your hand in mine
And I'll keep you safe"
And I let her go
Set her adrift
On the ocean of chaos
And now here I am
Yes here I am
Lost in my own madness
My own insane tonalities
If I could just hold her hand
I could hold her hand
I might go home
I might escape
I might end all this roaming
Through the fog
Through the haze
Through this dead grass
The crumbling hills are lost beyond
The virutes I once knew
I once held
And rebelled against
In the darkness
And in the rain
In the darkness
I feel her hands
Run through my hair
And I close my eyes
And I dream
Of that day
When I will finally be
Be away from this desert
This desert
This desert of foggy death
Where I'm captured
I'm a prisoner of my own ego
My own perceptions
My own death
My own life
My inabilities…
Take me away
Take me away
Wrap me up in your cold chains
And take me away
Take me down
Into that dark rank
Pit of darkness
And throw away the key
Throw away the key
I've finally accepted
I've lost my mind
But I'm ok with that
It was never mine to begin with
So this is the end
The end of all there was
The end of all that could be
But never was
The end
They threw away the key
Nobody's coming here for me
My mind is lost
It's gone for good
So I'm wrapped up here
In these cold chains
It's all that remains
Of my pour degraded soul
My pour degraded soul
It's all I've got left
It's all I've got left
Nothing

n Your Eyes
===========
In your eyes
I see the reflexion
Of all that lies
In some forgotten direction
Somewhere deep down
We'll find the sound
In your eyes
I try to look past the pain
In your eyes
That's where I remain
There's a darkness
Out in the world
Sometime I'll be free
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
We can't despise
Or hide from the lies
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes

Darkness
========
I live the life of a truant,
I like to contemplate darkness.
But when I start to daydream,
My mind turns straight to silence.
Sometimes I look at myself and I look into my eyes,
I notice the way I think about silence with a smile,
Curved lips I just can't disguise.
But I think it's darkness making my life worthwhile.
I need to walk in the shadows,
I need to dance in the rain,
But when left alone,
My mind turns straight to silence.
Sometimes I look at myself and I look into my eyes,
I notice the way I think about silence with a smile,
Curved lips I just can't disguise.
But I think it's darkness making my life worthwhile.
I get lost in the chaos,
And die in the mundane,
I only seem to be happy when
My mind turns straight to silence.
Sometimes I look at myself and I look into my eyes,
I notice the way I think about silence with a smile,
Curved lips I just can't disguise.
But I think it's darkness making my life worthwhile
Sometimes I look at myself and I look into my eyes,
I notice the way I think about silence with a smile,
Curved lips I just can't disguise.
But I think it's darkness making my life worthwhile
But I think it's darkness making my life worthwhile

The Light At The End Of The Tunnel
============================
Maybe it isn't what I thought it was
Maybe it isn't what it could have been
But there's a light at the end of the tunnel
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Maybe my dreams were always past
Maybe I was disgraced
But there's a light at the end of the tunnel
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Yes, there's a light at the end of the tunnel
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
At the end of the tunnel…

Catharsis
=======
On a dark lonely highway I'll get back home
Walking for miles on my own
One day I will return
To that hole where I burned
Where I burned
On that forest path I came to a stone
Once again I was all alone
The ravens flew up above in the sky
And the wolves howled in the night
In the moonlight I will bathe
In the moonlight I will bathe
In the waters of life
I will bathe and wash off the not human
Curved lips betray the sound
Of the night all around
And I try not to make a sound
Oh…
Oh…
Oh…
Oh…
(&c…)
On the hills far away
From all my dreams
From all that plays
So heavily upon my soul
Upon my heart
Upon everything I do
Freedom will rise
Freedom will rise
Freedom will rise
As the car hit the guard rail
And the world begins to spin
Time slows down
To a fraction of a heartbeat
And all I can think of is you
Laying in the sun and in the dew
Your hands in mine
Together for a time
When we were young
When we were young
When we had nothing to hold us back
From all our dreams
When we had nothing holding us back
From all those dreams
We dreamed alone
Together in our arms
Late at night forever in song
Late at night forever in song
Late at night forever in our song
When I think of it now
And how much has changed
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
In my dreams I still feel your hands
Run thru my hair
As if you were still there
And in the night I still cry
I still long for everything we lost
For our old song
I still long for everything we lost
And our old song
Our old song
By the seaside
By the light
In the night
Where we cried
And the smiles for the world
That held us down
Held us back from love
From love
From love
Across the field the fog rolls in
And in the shadows of my heart I begin again
Across that field I begin
I begin
Let me hold your hand again
In the night I cried so alone
So I long for your touch
If I held your hand again
Perhaps the light would remain
One last time
But you gave me strength to face the day
You gave me strength to wash the shadows away
You gave me strength to face the mundane
You give me strength
You give me strength
You give me strength
You give me strength
You give me strength
You give me strength
You give me strength
