|
close your eyes and tell me what you find |
|
don't you here the voices in your mind |
|
where have all your lovers gone, the friends you thought you counted on |
|
passed away like shadows lost with time |
|
i gave you all your life to make a choice |
|
from time to time i know you heard my voice |
|
it wasn't just for information, i desired your conversation |
|
all you did was drown me out with noise |
|
when i said go you wouldn't go |
|
i gave my hand but every time you never want to know |
|
and so you turned away, the seasons reached their end |
|
it took you all your days to keep me from your head |
|
the night grew dark your eyes grew black |
|
and soon there'll be no turning back again |
|
are you swimming through a myriad |
|
of spiritual decisions |
|
are they whispering sweet nothing while they |
|
drown you with derision |
|
out of sight but in your mind |
|
they're calling out they're pulling you away |
|
deep inside you know what's right |
|
but slowly you're believing what they say |
|
if they said go would you go |
|
are you orbiting the rainbow do you live to be in trances |
|
are you lost in paranoia did you take too many chances |
|
parasites and soul-destroyers ready for your life to drift away |
|
deep inside they steal your mind and slowly you're repeating what they say |
|
if they said go would you go |
|
when every country's gone to war every dream has hit the floor |
|
when every gene has split in two and every breath has poisoned you |
|
only then you'll understand none of this is what i planned |
|
but giving you the right to choose meant some of you would have to lose |
|
when every lake is parched and dry when all pollution kills the sky |
|
when every soul has gone it's way and every heart is old and grey |
|
maybe then you'll understand somewhere on your wounded land |
|
you heard my voice but chose to turn away |
