sorrowsjoy

Evoke the memories that haunt
Forged in blood and fire,pain and virulent desire
Close your eyes and remember,pictures behind eyelids
Always there like scars pulling at bruised skin

I- don't- want- you- to- go
I- don't- want- you- to- go
As I scramble to collect the pieces,pieces of me
Please
Please
Don't- go, says the face in the mirror staring back at me
Don't- go,Don't- go,please DON'T- GO

From my mouth to God's ear I did plead
Poor child now damaged goods
They all close thier eyes so they will not see
The wounds that still bleed

I- did- not- want- to- go
I- did- not- want- to- go
But I did scream
And now this insanity,this sorrow to which I'm chained
I cannot turn my feelings down,as the sun rises in vain
I tried so hard to let go,to believe I was more than nothing
So still I weep where none can see, wishing for simple understanding

Don't-let-me-go
Don't-let-me-go
I have ran for endless miles,all these years I have walked unknown
Searching with a childs blind intent for a home

Please don't let me go




"Afterhours"
Twenty years ago I rode
By helicopter to the sky
I laughed at gravitation
For a moment I was free


They say I never landed
You know they may be right
It looks better from above
With some distance in between



To leave is never easy
Perhaps it shouldn't be
But return is even harder
Yes, return is harder still





I often dream of flying
Far above the city streets
I beat my wings and leave
For Cairo or New York

To leave is never easy
Perhaps it shouldn't be
But return is even harder
Yes, return is harder still

I can go to many places
But there's no one there to meet
And the sky is a lonely place
Just me and the silent clouds

To leave is never easy
Perhaps it shouldn't be
But return is even harder
Yes, return is harder still
