On This Perfect Day

Slide down into the silence Numb the day away Move closer to a memory Feel it slip away Life shivers in the distance Whisper it away Your sun is smiling on my ashes On this perfect day (Shut down the guilt machine and Wash your conscience clean of yesterday) Drown the ocean Drain the sky Wash the color from the sun Still the thunder Derail the Earth Burn the stars out one by one ...We come undone Breathe deeply of your essence Stir the scars beneath Sing sweet a song so deathless You belong to me Life shivers in the distance Wish it all away Your sun is smiling on my ashes On this perfect day (Shut down the guilt machine and Wash your conscience clean of yesterday) Drown the ocean Drain the sky Wash the color from the sun Still the thunder Derail the Earth Burn the stars out one by one ...We come undone Accusations run astray Inside the guilt machine Turning tension's twisted coil Till nothing's left of me Words unspoken feed the lie Smile and say you're doing fine today Conversation makes no sense All logic stripped away Situation's out of hand In amber disarray Words unspoken feed the lie Another pill... you're doing fine today Did you dream of distant skies And thirst to roam and wander? Did you die silently inside? Did you think you'd find the answer Behind the light? Did you think you'd find a way To disconnect your favourite pain? Disengage and justify To wash away the pain Medicate and victimize To purge you pure again Words unspoken feed the lie Drink it down... you're doing fine today Something snaps at 4:05 One friday afternoon Turning tension's twisted coil Till nothing's left of you Words unspoken seal the lie One small step... you'll soon be fine today Did you dream of distant skies And thirst to roam and wander? Did you die silently inside? Did you think you'd find the answer Behind the light? Did you think you'd find a way To disconnect your favourite pain? Did you dream of distant skies And thirst to roam and wander Did you die silently inside? Did you think you'd find the answer Behind the light? Did you think you'd find a way To disconnect your favourite pain? Life shivers in the distance Whisper it away Your sun is smiling on my ashes On this perfect day (Shut down the guilt machine and Wash your conscience clean of yesterday) Drown the ocean Drain the sky Wash the color from the sun Still the thunder Derail the Earth Burn the stars out one by one Drown the ocean Drain the sky Wash the color from the sun Still the thunder Derail the Earth Burn the stars out one by one

This is not how you planned it Not the life you had in mind Winding days have spiraled into years An the past is long resigned Serenade the shade and shadow Cry a tune for days gone by Scream a song for all you lost along the way And the one you left behind After all the words unspoken After all the deeds undone In the dark, where certainties are few And your song is still unsung Celebrate the hour of madness Ride the wave that turns the tide Dream a song for all you lost along the way And the one you'll never find Is it too late for a new day? Is it too late to cross the line? Is it too late for a new way? Shine down the light Shine down the light The future will unfold (Table turning face the burn of reality) Ride out your chance The story still untold (Twisting tension face the burn of mortality) This is your life The darkest place you'll go (Table turning face the burn of eternity) This is your chance The choice is yours alone (Sail away to points unknown) All you have lived All you have won All you have learned All you have loved All yours to face All yours to show All yours to feel All yours to know All you have lived All you have won All you have learned All you have loved All yours to face All yours to show All yours to feel All yours to know All you have lived All you have won All you have learned All you have loved All yours to face All yours to show All yours to feel All yours to know Celebrate the hour of madness Ride the wave that turns the tide Dream a song for all you lost along the way And the one you'll never find Is it too late for a new day? Is it too late to cross the line? Is it too late for a new way? Shine down the light

One voice inside (I know who you are) One feeling you hide (This is the season of denial) You're in control (Don't ask me how I am) Your cracks start to show (There's someone laughing from afar) Turn around and face the darker side of you Turn around and face the damage that you do (In the season of denial) Too cold to feel (I know what you've done) In motion surreal (This is the season of the hollow) Who are you now? (I am for you to name) You're on your way down (You're somewhere very close to hell) Turn around and face the darker side of you (The one you hide) Turn around and face the damage that you do (In the season of denial) I will remember you Keep the pain alive A vision of black and blue Fading into white I will remember you Keep the pain alive A vision of black and blue Fading into white A weight of years... before the storm begins Saturate the rain-dark sky Wake in fear and face the dream that might have been The dream you still deny You don't remember when, you don't remember where A faded stranger in a photograph Half-seen faces whisper shapeless unaware Silent echoes of what's come to pass You know you can't return, you know you can't relive As your wasted wreckage falls apart Familiar places where you know must have been In your heart of darkest hearts I will remember you Keep the pain alive A vision of black and blue Fading into white I will remember you Keep the pain alive A vision of black and blue One voice inside One feeling you hide Turn around and face the darker side of you (The one you hide) Turn around and face the damage that you do Turn around and face the darker side of you Turn around and face the damage that you do

"Жизнь поступает с тобой так жестоко. Я знаю, что я нужна тебе, Но мы встретились слишком поздно, И я просто не могу быть с тобой. Прости." You were saying something deep I was feeling incomplete You were shaking with conviction I was making up my mind Blacken the sky It's over Killed by contradiction Fixation is all that's left behind Blacken the sky It's over Killed by contradiction Fixation is all that's left behind Kill it to life It's over Dead by definition Frustration is all that's left behind It's over You were waiting for a sign I was planning my next line You were bent on self-destruction I was there to load the gun Blacken the sky It's over Killed by contradiction Fixation is all that's left behind Kill it to life It's over Dead by definition Frustration is all that's left behind It's over It was all so beautiful It was all habitual It was all so beautiful It was all a ritual You were saying something deep I was feeling incomplete You were shaking your addiction I was there to find the vein Blacken the sky It's over Killed by contradiction Fixation is all that's left behind Kill it to life It's over Dead by definition Frustration is all that's left behind It was all so beautiful It was all habitual It was all so beautiful It was all a ritual Blacken the sky Fixation is all that's left behind It's over It's all over Frustration is all that's left behind

You look different in this light Thoughtful in the morning air Shifting in the golden glow of the array Still I'd know you anywhere You look distant in this light Troubled in the morning air Waiting for a chance to live what you've become I'd see through you anywhere And all the things you are And all you've lost Is perfection what you really want? And all the skies we shared The dreams we walked I'll be waiting here alone When the darkness calls you home You look tragic in this light Shattered in the morning air It fell apart the day they learned your name Still I'd follow anywhere You look dangerous in this light Desperate in the morning air Waiting for the chance to live what you've become I'd see through you anywhere And all the things you are And all you've lost Is perfection what you really want? And all the skies we shared The dreams we walked I'll be waiting here alone When the darkness calls you home I was lost In the perfect world they promised me I was scarred When you tore the mask away I was amazed At the lies we refused to see I was afraid Of the emptiness the truth would leave behind You look distant in this light Troubled in the morning air Waiting for a chance to live what you've become I'd see through you anywhere And all the things you are And all you've lost Is perfection what you really want? And all the skies we shared The dreams we walked I'll be waiting here alone When the darkness calls you home, when it calls you home What's one more year? A trip around the sun? Rise up and leave here The journey's done What's one more year? A circle in the sky? The future's in motion You're free to fly Can we heal the past? Do we dare to stand alone? Can we take it back? Make a new life on our own Can we heal the past? Do we dare to stand our ground? Can we take it back? Can we turn it all around? What's one more year? A trip around the sun? Rise up and leave here The journey's done What's one more year? A circle in the sky? The future's in motion You're free to fly Can we heal the past? Do we dare to stand alone? Can we take it back? Make a new life on our own Can we heal the past? Do we dare to stand our ground? Can we take it back? Can we turn it all around? Can we heal the past? Can we heal the past? Can we take it back? Can we take it back? Can we heal the past? Do we dare to stand our ground? Can we take it back? Can we turn it all around?
