Lost in the shadows
hanging on to hanging on
I've been trying to catch my breath
ever since I met you
dancing this Earth too long
I know you know that I will never forget you
but your too good for a song

I wipe the past from my eye
I lost my rain to make way for the sunshine
I throw a penny and think of you
I wandered for a thousand dreams
each year gets worse and better
each day still tastes blue
We are still a flower yet to bloom
I will finally find myself
I slowly crawl out of my tomb

My heart wakes up to see you
your all my soul can hear
I will still know a million years from now
I will always keep a place for you
I shall always care for you

Living too much for all the dying
lost in yesterday's tear
giving up on the want of trying
I' so glad to be here
there's a parade of emotions marching in my heart
a million years of hope is all on you
I won't know until I know
I won't rest until I'm done
I can't live without you
I need you
like the Earth needs the sun

we see this world through different eyes
same cold world
same land we stand
we walk down the same old roads
most with different names
you are the heart of my passion
I am the keeper of the flame
you are the key to my life
I hold the key to your name

Sometimes it is so hard to get home
I spend most of my time like a lost dog wandering
I'm walking in the rain again
it's been raining for a thousand years in my mind
I sought shelter in your bright kind eyes
sometimes it's hard to roam

You hold the deed to my heart
all I ever wanted
out of my head
always in my heart
my lips glued shut with hesitation and fear
your eyes are like a poem
you are the only song I need to hear
the itch gets worse from scratching
your a question mark to me
don't jump into the water
if your afraid to get wet
my passion sets me free
saved once more from drownding
inside a lonely pit of tears
longing for a moment
to live before I'm no longer here
I will always be lonely
But I will never be alone

Lost forever to the eyes of the living
are names our lips will never say
hope is just forever in this serene and peaceful tomb
there is more in here then stones and bones
most things we will never know
no one is really dead if they ever truely lived
I'm proud of all I've said
I'm proud of all I did

confused by this world
infected with desire
betrayed by my confidence
I can't control my fire
lost my direction but found a home
my feet just planted roots
this spirit needs to roam

Cast out into the dark world of loneliness for yet another day
no one alive can help me I'm swimming against the wave
darker then darkness lost in the light of want
can't grip too tight, can't hold on at all
born for a reason
living for this day

like an umbrella sitting in the corner until it really rains
your always there
I may never say it but
I am aware
someday I may need you
one day it might really storm
I hope that you remember
all the things I don't have the guts to say

the itch I shouldn't scratch
the look I shouldn't see
the lost I may never find
I'm all wraped up in me
standin in the sun in the darkest night
looking for the more
blind but still have sight

ssss

Glancing up from nowhere
searching for the sun
looking for some answers
grasping at the one
left adrift and sailin
waiting for long to sink
missing much for the dying
closing on the brink
been too long in dark
your light is all I think
I can't deny my passion
this world too sweet to drink

Standing on whisper without a hint of light
Waiting on an answer without a sense of might
longing for a reason without a will to give
walking home in anger with only time to live
