Lyrics
The Longing
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.
Useless skies wander by the weight of a hand
Held down by the side which cannot stand
These walls cannot release what holds them back
We will never bleed again
Can you see the day as clearly as I do
Can you feel the pain as you burn alone
Will the world return the life you cannot live
Can you cleanse the stench of a dream gone wrong
Silence surrounds me
Piercing and shrieking
Haunting remains of days constructing veins
Sliding through time like endless roads of lust
Justifying praise
Right now is never enough
Still agreements remain
Regardless of the sense it makes
The placing of time
I see you burning life away
Falling aside the sorrow of a world gone black
Can you sense the core of the longing I am
Can you taste the tears falling down
I can never replace the things I once knew
This dream is a maze compressing my soul
Can you sense the core of the longing I am
Can you taste the tears falling down
I can never replace the things I once knew
This dream is a maze compressing my soul
Strangely life crushes the essence of time
The longing for detachment from conflicting signs
Water flowing strangely from the point of creation
And i will never see again
Can you see the day as clearly as I do
Can you feel the pain as I burn alone
Will the world return the life I cannot live
Can you cleanse the stench of a dream gone wrong
