1. WHERE WILL YOU GO

You're too important for anyone
There's something wrong with everything you see
But I, I know who you really are
You're the one who cries when you're alone

[Chorus]

But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
You can't escape

You think that I can't see right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
You're left to face yourself alone

[Chorus]

I realize you're afraid
But you can't abandon everyone
You can't escape
You don't want to escape

I'm so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone
I can hear you in a whisper
But you can't even hear me screaming

[Chorus]

I realize you're afraid
But you can't reject the whole world
You can't escape
You won't escape
You can't escape
You don't want to escape


2. SOLITUDE

How many times have you told me you love her ?
As many times as I've wanted to tell you the truth
How long have I stood here beside you
I lived through you
You looked through me.

[Chorus]

Ooh, Solitude
Still with me, is only you
Ooh, Solitude
I can't stay away from you

How many times have I done this to myself ?
How long will it take before I see ?
When will this hole in my heart be mended ?
Who now is left alone but me ?

[Chorus]

Ooh, Solitude
Forever me and forever you
Ooh, Solitude
Only you, only true

Everyone leaves me stranded
Forgotten, abandoned, left behind
I can't stay here another night

Your secret admirer
Who could it be ?

Ooh, Can't you see,
All along it was me ?
How can you be so blind ?
As to see right through me

[Chorus]

Ooh, Solitude
Still with me, is only you
Ooh, Solitude
I can't stay away from you

[Chorus]

Ooh, Solitude
Forever me and forever you
Ooh, Solitude
Only you, only true


3. IMAGINARY

I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming
Monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops
As they're falling tell a story

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

Don't say I'm out of touch
With this rampant chaos - your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light


4. EXODUS

My black backpack's stuffed with broken dreams
20 bucks should get me through the week
Never said a word of discontentment
Fought it a thousand times but now
I'm leaving home

[Chorus]

Here in the shadows
I'm safe
I'm free
I've nowhere else to go but
I cannot stay where I don't belong

Two months passed by and it's getting cold
I know I'm not lost
I am just alone
But I won't cry
I won't give up
I can't go back now
Waking up is knowing who you really are

[Chorus]

Here in the shadows
I'm safe
I'm free
I've nowhere else to go but
I cannot stay where I don't belong

Show me the shadow where true meaning lies
So much more is made in empty eyes


5. SO CLOSE

I've spent so much time throwing rocks at your window
That I never even knocked on the front door

I walk by statues never even made one chip
But if I could leave a mark on the monument of the heart
I just might lay myself down for a little more than I had the last day

The last day, the last day, the last day

Wait a time to spare these lies we tell ourselves
These days have come and gone
But this time is sweeter than honey


6. UNDERSTANDING

You hold the answers deep within your own mind
Consciously, you've forgotten it
That's the way the human mind works
Whenever something is too unpleasant, too shameful for us
To entertain, we reject it
We erase it from memories
But the answer is always there

(Can't wash it all away)
(Can't wish it all away)
(Can't hope it all away)
(Can't cry it all away)

The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in
In our mutual
Shame we idolize
To blind them from the truth
That finds a way from who we are
Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence
Screaming in our hearts
My love for you still grows
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth my final time

(Man)

We're supposed to try and be real
And I feel alone, and we're not together. And that is real

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

Lying beside you
Listening to you breath
The life that flows inside of you
Burns inside of
Hold and speak to
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this
And I will die for you
Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me Dis
For I know I cannot
Bear it all alone

(Man)

You're not alone, are you ?
Never... Never.

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away
Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

(Can't fight it all away)
(Can't hope it all away)

Can't scream it all away
Ooh, it all away
Ooh, it all away Oh

(Man)

But the answer is always there. Nothing is ever really forgotten

Because I'm dying too. (x6)
