Wait until you hear the notes Shouted out from the throat Of the one that’s in your ear But never seen Only then will you find What it is you’re searching for Screaming the song of what it is You know so clear How is it that we don’t know If what they’re telling us is true Or if it’s just thoughtful lies Meant to take care At night the air is thick Keeps all sound trapped in it’s midst Still cries come calling out So please listen, dear I called out for you, did you hear They ran after me, I disappeared Now I’m lost, nowhere to hide Wander blindly, no one at my side Violent memory, hurtful lie Fleeting fondness found in its disguise When you left me, I won’t forget You thought it’d best if we’d never met
2.
I can’t see you You can’t hear me We don’t think the same And I ask them “Please don’t speak that name” Whispered notions Shouted message They both sound alike Still it shakes me How the words do strike Now you speak up And I listen For what you have to tell Isn’t pleasant And on my mind it dwells Gone away now Won’t return soon Left behind the strife You told me I Had to change my life
3.
Feel the wind creep and bend See the way it folds within Echoed voices meet mirrored faces Reminding when you heard that name You know well That harsh swell Won’t return Your discern - Feel that rush climb your face Blood runs hot, skin sits cold You wait to rise, but then you falter That same sound comes ever closer For you I waiver Do you a favor And don’t expect Me to collect Here you rest away from all A fading thought falls from above Take this time now to forget What brings you down into the depths Lost without A single doubt Close your mind Remain blind

Someone’s there Feel them stare Warm breath Fills the air Heats my tongue Knots my hair Such a bitter taste I can’t bear We know them As a friend Gone are those Days we’d spend Lost touch Condescend Watching as Colors blend
7.
Well I’m in that valley Walking by myself No one here to help me Lonesome as the rest And you say that I’m Going with you But I know that Can’t be true I see only strangers In this land so low But the feeling’s strong now Some I think I know Now I see where we’re all Supposed to go And they say my soul Will reap what it’s sowed And we’ll leave that valley Walk away in stride Knowing well that we won’t Ever have to hide
