Lyrics

Lost again beyond the boundaries of my fears Solitude my only friend Shadows run and hide There is no room for strangers here I feel the stormclouds gather round Oh, don't bring the rain Ghosts within the heart Remain when time turns over From inside lies reprieve the cage Chameleons turn in me to hide these bitter photographs Celluloid has such an empty face Oh, just for a touch The thorn cuts deep and so I cry The pain inside Bites hard beneath my inner walls And so one question: why do others cry? Is it so hard to even try? Well can't you hear us call? The drumsticks fall On distance sounds the early warning And there's no room at all Against the wall We stand alone within the crowd Voices here are dying in the wind Cold the tears still fall Beyond the reach of many Angry moments fire the soul Where are you mother Earth? Please gently rock the cradle Warm beneath a soft and soothing hand Oh, why do I cry Empty words surround decisions of a nation Silence hears the piper's tune So here I am again a prisoner of my memories Changes in the story make no change Oh, leave me alone The thorn cuts deep and so I cry The pain inside Bites hard beneath my inner walls And so one question: why do others cry? Is it so hard to even try? Well can't you hear us call? The drumsticks fall On distance sounds the early warning And there's no room at all Against the wall We stand alone within the crowd Voices here are dying in the wind
