I twist I turn, from day to day my memories burn
I want to run but can't move an inch
I listen to words and rhythm from another's lips to find my own
Beauty is all I desire....
I see the light switch on but there must be wires crossed along the way
Cause there's no light here, no love, no breath
I crave what we all crave
But what is it we crave,
Bring me in, bring me home, out of the rain
I've travelled to many distant shores but only in my mind
It rained on most of these trips
So I've taught myself to fly and made love to many beautiful women
But only in my dreams
Let me show you what's inside, look into my eyes
Cause there's no light here, no love, no breath
I crave what we all crave
But what is it we crave,
Bring me in, bring me home, out of the rain
Pitter-patter of little feet
chased by monsters I cant defeat
Pitter patter of rain drops
washing away emotions of which I cant speak
I have the keys but I cant find the lock
I haven't paid the bills, you cant survive on words alone
Cause there's no light here, no love, no breath
I crave what we all crave
But what is it we crave,
Bring me in, bring me home, out of the rain
I got the ring you left for me,
the beautiful one that is as fake as they come,
I've worn it once and now you too
but like you and I, you can't see where it finishes and where it begun.
Just looking at it makes my eyes well up,
To a passer by it would appear real but we both know its not
it holds so much significance in it's twines
memories of which I have forgiven and trying to be forgot
You didn't see the ring
And you didn't see me
But I saw you,
Saw you drifting
Now I've taken the temptation of colour away
We've become a solid pastel with no shades of grey in sight
I've said good-bye so many times
But for my heart and sanity we shared our last kiss tonight
So you sleep while I'm in turmoil
I wonder if you wiped the tears away or let them dry on your cheek
Tonight I will sleep knowing tomorrow it is not the same
No more kisses, a different us, a different me; attitude, attention, physique
You didn't see the ring
And you didn't see me
But I saw you,
Saw you drifting
Where did you go, to where did you drift?
I keep searching for you to pull you back in but you're nowhere in sight.
When the darkness comes and your eyes begin to close, flashes come to you; faces, sounds, smells,
It is here, it is now, it is this...
you begin to remember the things you once forgot.
Here it will be, here I will be, here you will be...
a part, if only fleeting in my life,
someone who touched me spiritually, physically, sexually...
a freeze frame in time where we, you and I, became one!
I've seen blood drip from my wrists before,
I've felt the need to disappear,
I've wanted to run even though my legs would not carry me,
I've driven with no money to keep me going.
To the sky I've looked and wished I could fly,
seen clouds floating contentedly, passing me by.
I've placed my hand upon broken earth,
lived life for years in a continuous search.
To be me is to be forgotten, although tall and full of myself I fade.
My tears have given life to dry ground,
my words have inspired others to laugh,
my hands have given life to dead lovers,
my breathe has breathed life to these words.
In my life I've known down from up,
held my breath through almost every thinkable hiccup.
I've pretended I'm sick when all I wanted was love,
and pushed through pain with a forceful shove.
To be me is to be forgotten, although tall and full of myself I fade.
You have been inside me but not known what's there,
you took from me everything and nothing too,
you helped me move from one emotion to another,
you left me stranded on an island of lies.
Today I drink red wine to forget what I remember,
looking down on my body and wishing it slender.
Closing my eyes to see my fantasy life,
knowing I will continue to reach back for the knife
To be me is to be forgotten, although tall and full of myself I fade.
