1. Where Will You Go?
There’s something wrong with everything you see But I, I know who you really are You’re the one who cries when you’re alone
[CHORUS:]
But where will you go With no one left to save you from yourself You can’t escape You can’t escape
You think that I can’t see right through your eyes Scared to death to face reality No one seems to hear your hidden cries You’re left to face yourself alone
[Chorus]
I realize you’re afraid But you can’t abandon everyone You can’t escape You don’t want to escape
I’m so sick of speaking words that no one understands Is it clear enough that you can’t live your whole life all alone I can hear you in a whisper But you can’t even hear me screaming
[Chorus]
I realize you’re afraid But you can’t reject the whole world You can’t escape You won’t escape You can’t escape You don’t want to escape
2. Solitude
As many times as I've wanted to tell you the truth How long have I stood here beside you I live through you You looked through me
Ooh, Solitude, Still with me is only you Ooh, Solitude, I can't stay away from you
How many times have I done this to myself How long will it take before I see When will this hole in my heart be mended Who now is left alone but me
Ooh, Solitude, Forever me and forever you Ooh, Solitude, Only you, only true
Everyone leave me stranded Forgotten, abandoned, left behind I can't stay here another night Your secret in my heart Who could it be
Ooh, Can't you see All along it was me How can you be so blind As to see right through me
And Ooh, Solitude, Still with me is only you Ooh, Solitude, I can't stay away from you
Ooh, Solitude, Forever me and forever you Ooh, Solitude, Only you, only true
3.Imaginary
I linger in the doorway Of alarm clock screaming monsters calling my name Let me stay Where the wind will whisper to me Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story
In my field of paper flowers And candy clouds of lullaby I lie inside myself for hours And watch my purple sky fly over me
Don't say i'm out of touch With this rampant chaos - your reality I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge The nightmare i built my own world to escape
In my field of paper flowers And candy clouds of lullaby I lie inside myself for hours And watch my purple sky fly over me
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights Oh how i long for the deep sleep dreaming The goddess of imaginary light
In my field of paper flowers And candy clouds of lullaby I lie inside myself for hours And watch my purple sky fly over me
4. Exodus
20 bucks should get me through the week Never said a word of discontentment Fought it a thousand times but now I'm leaving home
[CHORUS:]
Here in the shadows I'm safe I'm free I've nowhere else to go but I cannot stay where I don't belong
Two months pass by and it's getting cold I know I'm not lost I am just alone But I won't cry I won't give up I can't go back now Waking up is knowing who you really are
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Show me the shadow where true meaning lies So much more is made in empty eyes
5. So Close
That I never even knocked on the front door
I walk by statues never even made one chip But if i could leave a mark on the monument of the heart I just might lay myself down for a little more than I had the last day
Wait a time to spare these lies we tell ourselves These days have come and gone But this time is sweeter than honey
6. Understanding
Consciously, you've forgotten it. That's the way the human mind works. Whenever something is too unpleasant, to shameful for us to entertain, we reject it. We erase it from our memories. But the answer is always there."
(Can't wash it all away) (Can't Wish it all away) (Can't hope it all away) (Can't cry it all away)
The pain that grips you The fear that binds you Releases life in me In our mutual Shame we idolize To blind them from the truth That finds a way from who we are Please don't be afraid When the darkness fades away The dawn will break the silence Screaming in our hearts My love for you still grows This I do for you Before I try to fight the truth my final time
"We're supposed to try and be real. And I feel alone, and we're not together. And that is real."
Can't wash it all away Can't wish it all away Can't cry it all away Can't scratch it all away
Lying beside you Listening to you breathe The life that flows inside of you Burns inside of me Hold and speak to me Of love without a sound Tell me you will live through this And I will die for you Cast me not away Say you'll be with me For I know I cannot Bear it all alone
"You're not alone, are you?" "Never... Never."
Can't fight it all away Can't hope it all away Can't scream it all away It just won't fade away, No
Can't wash it all away Can't wish it all away Can't cry it all away Can't scratch it all away
(Can't fight it all away) (Can't hope it all away) Can't scream it all away Ooh, it all away Ooh, it all away
"But the answer is always there. Nothing is ever really forgotten." "Because I'm tired of it too." "Because I'm tired of it too." "Because I'm tired of it too." "Because I'm tired of it too." "Because I'm tired of it too."
