A Great Distance

Distance has bred avidity

I'm trapped and cannot fail

Now I dissolve alone

These days have bled me dry

I've been left alone here

To drown in my own fears

These days have bled me dry

If lies were true and lies were new

Would you still walk alone

Or would you sharpen words

That cut me to the bone

I've been left alone here

To drown in my own fears

Darkness cover me tonight

I'm trapped in your shadows

I'm broken by sorrow

Love will be denied to me

We're at the ending of our travels

Her bitter words I bleed

The grains of our spent lives

The sands were shifting downward

Killing what I can not have

Met me melt away the lies

Let me take away your soul

I cant make you real

I watched the stars die in your eyes
