The Inner Circle
The person you are The person you were It´s like I´ve never known you Like we´ve never met before It´s lost and found Just turned around Here I stood watching Here I stood waiting Here my thoughts were Running still We were walking ´round the bend We were walking hand in hand Things we held so dear Now strangely unfamiliar And all the things we had And all we left behind And all we couldn´t find Couldn´t be And after all this time And all the things we tried We come back just to find It´s faded now When you were leaving When you were leaving me Felt like Like Drowning here Never was too cool to care Never was that unaware I just was So strangely tired And all the things we had And all we left behind And all we couldn´t find Couldn´t be And after all this time And all the things we tried We come back just to find It´s faded now Faded now The person you are The person you were You promised me you won´t look up Promised me we´d never stop It never was That way for us I am still hearing I am still hearing your Whispers in This night of calm Never thought we´d cross the line Never thought we´d mind the time But did we Did we ever?

It wasn´t until today That you walked into my life It wasn´t until today That you made me mind the time You came along down the alley The road of both our past Said: " The sky above me´s black, 5 years, counting still" It wasn´t until today That you made me face the foretime It wasn´t until today That you had me stride the tide And you came riding down the wave A ride for both our fall "I´ve been drowning ever since, Drowning ever since" It isn´t until tomorrow That you keep my innermost It isn´t until tomorrow That I´ll bare my soul to you And so we´ll heed and tend the worded And we will walk the talk Say: "There is no time to waste now, There is no time to waste" It isn´t until tomorrow That you hold my life in hand It isn´t until tomorrow That you make me let it go And we´ll come floating down the river The stream of both our hearts Say: "We will dare to live now, We will dare to be" You are the one The piece of mind The heart gone blind The picture never seen You are the mist around The haze afield The dim and faint A ghost from the past You are my fear The smile that was The thought in time The coming of the age You are my debt to pay The shade of gray The one that was

For I am one of the painless One of the needing One of the scarsick One of the bleeding My shadow´s falling Down, down it goes The doors are open All life´s escaped They hammer the nail For I fail In so many Many ways So I hang my head and cry Long way from home Everything´s wrong So I hang my head in shame Fallen from grace Nowhere to go For I am one of the dreamless One of the crying One of the earthbound One of the dying And the gate is falling Down, down it goes The doors are open Dead time´s escaped They tell this tale For I fail In so ma y Many ways So I hang my head and cry Long way from home Everything´s wrong So I hang my head in shame Fallen from grace Nowhere to go

Feel the walls Closing in on me Loosing hold On reality It shook the ground Here beneath my feet Run for what once Was my life Lost in the echoes The echoes of my mind The fear of the unknown The frozen smile of life My weeping wavers through the night Deep dolour feeds my wounds Couldn´t stand my ground next to this This monumental Me´s not like myself Speak to me Of those times when I lay aside My burdened soul Here in my eyes now There´s no loving light I´m just not like that Anymore Lost in the echoes The echoes of my mind The fear of the unknown The frozen smile of life My weeping wavers through the night Deep dolour feeds my wounds Couldn´t stand my ground next to this This monumental Me´s not like myself I remember the days when I lived just here and now This certainty To be myself Has fallen apart Somehow The ways have changed The world deranged From the way It used to be Or was the one to change In the end Only me?

Here I am More or less a man Lost in thought Close to call it a day And here I stand Time keeps passing by For all I am Is loss and load Is here with me to fall On the run With the years that I´ve stolen On the run With those fears on my mind Hold back the tears That could fall for me Hold back the grief That´s inside of me I´m taken all the more As sadness lives inside of me I cried despair, please comfort me Just set me free Here I am More or less a man For all I am Is desperate hope Is vanity and pain But where you are Is there a sign of home Is there no loss Is there no time Is there a love unknown? On the run With the years that I´ve stolen On the run With those fears on my mind Hold back the tears That could fall for me Hold back the grief That´s inside of me I´m taken all the more As sadness lives inside of me I cried despair, please comfort me Just set me free

Part I I guess I´ve never been Blind enough to shine And the tears In my eyes Heard the wind Felt the pain Lost the words Lost my life I´m nothing now And your failure to be As exceptional as you are Beautiful to me Yes you are Beautiful to me And the kiss shared with the night Has burned my cheek Burned my brow So here we are Tied to this glimpse Now groundless I sink Into this life It´s brighter than me We crossed our souls We held them high In our Giving we´ve failed You called me by my name When I stroked the hair from your face I was in In your eyes As I was in your hands Every time you bent over me Silently told me ´bout life With your snowblind eyes How was I to turn away After what I´ve done Been the one to stroke your hair Been the one to hold you tight Yes, that I did Told me what I am Not what I´ve become Through you So here we are Tied to this glimpse Now groundless I sink Into this life It´s brighter than me We crossed our souls We held them high In our Giving we´ve failed Part II I The sadness in my eyes This wretched soul Inside my chest Shadows of my fearful voice Filling the room They´re filling me Is there a tomorrow Yes I guess it´ll come But time´s not on my side If this is all there is I might not make it through Someone please find my way One glimpse was all I got Of the darkness In both our eyes Even now I still long for Your light that blinded Blinded me Is there a tomorrow Yes I guess it´ll come But time´s not on my side If this is all there is I might not make it through Someone please find my way II Lurching we fell To this bitter ground Our earthly souls To each other they clung Bequeathing the dreams To our tired eyes Dug up the buried Tomorrow´s premonition The night Expects us to feel her The night Expects us to breath her We breathed we were We touched we knew Abandoned of tears In each other we merge Immersing our hands In the font of grief Sharing the worry The sorrow of today The night Expects us to feel her The night Expects us to breath her III Awoke to this time Gone away My life crumbled down Worn out, weak And tired Hiding inside me Think of the moments Left behind Now time´s running out Of faith, greed And needing And love abandoned IV So we take our heart As once we took Both our hands We close our weary eyes We raise our voice We ground our feet Is there a tomorrow Yes I guess it´ll come And time´s now on my side If this is all there is I might just make it through ´Cause I have found my way We swim on our life´s ground We write our names On both our hearts A sole glance from our eyes Will catch our Soul´s reflection Is there a tomorrow Yes I guess it´ll come And time´s now on my side If this is all there is I might just make it through ´Cause I have found my way V So here we are Tied to this glimpse Now groundless I sink Into this life It´s brighter than me We crossed our souls We held them high In the Taking We´ll rise VI Maybe all we are Is only here and now A fire in the night Fleeting but bright We gather round our tears For us to be found Awaiting the Taking Of all that we are
