Tuesday night and it's getting late
I'll leave the light on just in case you come home
There's always something in the way
I want to believe you, you know I do
If all I can do is wait
Tell me how to turn the hands of this old clock
I know you think you're strong enough to swim
But the tide keeps pulling you further out
Now every day feels like a hole
Deeper and deeper down we go
It's getting harder to see the light
I don't know, I just don't
If all I can do is wait
Tell me how to turn the hands of this old clock
I know you think you're strong enough to swim
But the tide keeps pulling you further out
Is there a difference between
Understand and naivety?
These days my mind begins to wonder
Is it better to watch you drown
Or have you pull me under?
'cause in my heart
I still believe
What does that say about me?

The Promised Land

Ashes and dust cover everything
It's been a while, a real long while
Out in the light this cold reality...
It's embarrassing, I don't wanna talk
I called your name and all I heard was the reflection
I don't need answers, just a little more direction
Is this the way to the promised land?
'cause all I see is rocks and sand
I wandered off so long ago
Should I turn back now?
I don't know
I saw your face in a fever dream
You saw right through me, didn't you?
When everyone around me is living like a zombie
I can't stay anymore
I traced your steps and now they're few and far between
I swear my mind plays tricks on me
Is this the way to the promised land?
'cause all I see is rocks and sand
I wandered off so long ago
Should I turn back now?
I don't know
There's no burning bush for me, no chariot of fire
Just a quiet rustling in the corner of my mind
and I'll drink from it until the well runs dry

Blame it on my innocence
but I couldn't see it in your eyes
Or maybe I'm just tired tonight,
can't stand another fight
Now that silence speaks so loud
Everything has changed
What could words convey?
'cause in the warmth of the sun,
your skin it looks so pale, your body so frail
Like a flower in the spring,
in the air that I breathe, I still feel you
In full bloom
In the sunshine or the rain,
all the beauty and the pain
I know you tried
So tell me what you think of me now
Am I coward or a fool?
'cause while the world was burning to the ground
I was asleep in the other room
Now time keeps rolling on
Everything has changed
Oh what could words convey?
In the middle of the night it still hits like a hurricane
Wash me away
Like a flower in the spring,
in the air that I breathe, I still feel you
In full bloom
In the sunshine or the rain,
all the beauty and the pain
I know you tried
Through the window pane I can see the world in a different shade...
and if I close my eyes I can hear your voice outside.
