Anathema
Album • 2008
"Tonight your soul sleeps, but one day you will feel real pain, maybe then you will see me as I am, A fragile wreck on a storm of emotion" Countless times I trusted you, I let you back in, Knowing... Yearning... you know I should have run... but I stayed Maybe I always knew, My fragile dreams would be broken for you. Today I introduced myself, To my own feelings, In silent ceremony, after all these years, They spoke to me... after all these years Maybe I always knew...

Born to the glare of the senses Spoon fed reality infused A new inherent Passive contentment You are so easily amused Here and now We are gone in a heartbeat A dream in the Passage your time Chances are failing This world isn't waiting The moment is passing you by Questions lie beneath the surface The fools are fooled once again Benign coincidence We stole our existence And gladly cast it to the wind Here and now We are gone in a heartbeat A dream in the passage of time Chances are failing This world isn't waiting The moment is passing you by Slowly spinning on the wind back home

When the silence beckons, And the day draws to a close, When the light of your life sighs, And love dies in your eyes, Only then will I realise, What you mean to me.

How I needed you How I grieve now you're gone In my dreams I see you I awake so alone I know you didn't want to leave Your heart yearned to stay But the strength I always loved in you Finally gave way Somehow I knew you would leave me this way Somehow I knew you could never stay And in the early morning light After a silent peaceful night You took my heart away And I grieve In my dreams I can see you I can tell you how I feel In my dreams I can hold you And it feels so real I still feel the pain I still feel your love I still feel the pain I still feel your love Somehow I knew you could never, never stay And somehow I knew you would leave me And in the early morning light After a peaceful night You took my heart away I wished, I wished you could have stayed

Are you there? Is it wonderful to know All the ghosts... All the ghosts... Freak my selfish out My mind is happy Need to learn to let it go I know you'd do no harm to me But since you've been gone I've been lost inside Tried and failed as we walked by the riverside And I wish you could see the love in her eyes The best friend that eluded you lost in time Burned alive in the heat of a grieving mind But what can I say now? It couldn't be more wrong Cos there's no one there Unmistakably lost and without a care Did we lose all the love that we could have shared And its wearing me down And its turning me round And I can't find a way Now to find it out Where are you when I need you... Are you there?

Where are you tonight? Wild flower in starlit heaven Still enchanted in flight Obsessions lament to freedom A timeless word, the meanings changed But I'm still burning in your flames, Incessant, lustral masquerade, Unengaged, dilit love didn't taste the same And I still wonder if you ever wonder the same And I still wonder.

It's been a long, cold winter without you I've been crying on the inside Over you You've just slipped through my fingers So life turned away It's been a long, cold winter Since that day.. And it's hard to find, hard to find, hard to find the strength now but I try And I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna to speak now of what's gone by Cause no matter what I say, no matter what I do I can't change what happened, can't change what happened No matter what I say, no matter what I do Can't change what happened, can't change what happened no matter what I say, no matter what I do Can't change what happened, can't change what happened No, no, can't change You've just slipped through my fingers And now I feel so ashamed You've just slipped through my fingers and I've paid

Deep inside the silence Staring out upon the sea The waves are washing over Half forgotten memory Deep within the moment Laughter floats upon the breeze Rising and falling dying down within me And I swear I never knew how it could be And all this time all I had inside was what I couldn't see I swear I never knew how it couldn't be All the waves are washing over all that hurts inside of me Beyond this beautiful horizon lies a dream for you and I This tranquil scene is still unbroken by the rumours in the sky But there's a storm closing in voices crying on the wind The serenade is growing colder breaks my soul that tries to sing And there's so many many thoughts when I try to go to sleep But with you I start to feel a sort of temporary peace There's a drift in and out
