Lyrics
Life Before Insanity
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All I see are faces, a sea of faces
Surrounded by the memory of life before insanity
Hard to explain the hunger, if you don't feel it
What I really need is your breath raining on my skin
And I'm so tired, tired of feeling sorry for myself
And I want more
All I feel are clouds, surrounded by clouds
Yesterday's anger is the sadness of today
Our lives were filled with summer and laughter
Now our smiles are grey
Once I held you close, now my thoughts just drift like the wind
Can you feel it, can you feel it
Can you feel it, can you feel it
Coming down
And I'm so tired, tired of feeling sorry for myself
And I want more, got me wanting more
Night keep falling, and the wind keep calling my name
All I see are faces, a sea of faces
Surrounded by the memory of life before insanity
Hard to explain the hunger, if you don't feel it
What I really need is your breath raining on my skin
