Fates Warning
Album • 2004
Left here long ago, was passing through the years. I was waiting for the day chasing a distant star while the sun just slipped away. Lost my way long ago, was running in circles. I was drifting through the night tracing a fading star moving slowly out of sight. Lost my way, I lost my way back then. Now it seems I'm lost, it seems I'm lost again. I left here long ago, was someone else back then. I left here long ago, and now I'm leaving again. I lost my way long ago, was somewhere else back then. Lost my way back then and now I'm lost again. Everything changes, and everyone moves apart. Left here long ago, now I'm staring into space. As my thoughts drift back to you I'm facing a falling star moving swiftly out of view. Left here, I left here way back then. And now I'm leaving, I'm leaving again. I left here long ago, was someone else back then. I left here long ago, and now I'm leaving again. I lost my way long ago, was somewhere else back then. Lost my way back then and now I'm lost again.

Stand right there man, I can see right through you. Make me understand the mind within your head. I am a simple human like you, I am a simple human too. Speak what's on your mind, a simple thought, a reason. Some self-righteous blind deconstructive thinking. I want to rip it away, I want to tear it down. Don't be afraid you can't feel anything. I am a simple human like you, I am a simple human too. We're all caught, it's like a giant tangled web. We're all trapped going nowhere. Now you know, now you know! I am a simple human like you, I am a simple human too. I am a simple human like you, I am a simple human too.

Her with her loving eyes, her with her open arms, a shelter in the night as we drift into sleep, a soothing voice singing river wide, ocean deep. Her with her vacant eyes, her with her withered arms, a vague promise of rain, overhead storm clouds creep, a distant voice thundering river wide, ocean deep. Her with her wild eyes, her with her clutching arms, a tempest pouring down, a flood no wall can keep, a drowning voice crying river wide, ocean deep. The ties that bind are the ties we keep and she cried river wide, ocean deep. The ties that bind are the ties we keep until we sleep, until we sleep.

You tell me you love me and I wonder why, the sun is overhead but I can't see past the clouds in my eye. You show me what is real and I just pretend, another perfect day and I wonder how it all will end. Another perfect day and I will hide away from all the sights and sounds. Another perfect day and I will walk away from all the light that surrounds. Shadows embrace this room as I draw the shades tight. Close the curtains, shut out the day, and shut out the light. Another perfect day and I will hide away from all the sights and sounds. Another perfect day and I will walk away from all the light that surrounds. Lying awake again restless in this bed, summer night whispers soft but I can't sleep through the noise in my head. Soon the sun is rising and I just descend. Another perfect day and I wonder when it all will end. Another perfect day and I will hide away from all the sights and sounds. Another perfect day and I will walk away from all the light that surrounds. Another perfect day for me to hide away from all the sights and sounds. Another perfect day for me to walk away from all the light that surrounds.

I move in slow motion and the world is no longer at my heels. I wither and falter somehow, I wither and fall silent now. Sometimes I say too much even when there is no one listening. I wither and falter somehow, I wither and fall silent now. Hey are you out there, did you feel my sacrifice? Hey do you see me, can you really be that blind? Hey can you hear me, are you out there in the night? I'm haunted by your voice and you are satisfied. Your words are the cross I bear and I am crucified. Heal me! Hey have I reached you, are you too far gone now? Take a look around you is this what you had in mind? I'm haunted by your voice and you are satisfied. Your words are the cross I bear and I am crucified. Heal me! Now I've reached a part of me that I know shouldn't be A cetain kind of calm, a false tranquillity. I see now what's in the dark, it's looking back at me. I see now what's in the dark, I'm looking back at me. Heal me... I'm haunted by your voice and you are satisfied. Your words are the cross I bear and I am crucified. Heal me!

This track is instrumental.
Down beneath my underlying thoughts there lurks a silent scream. Now can I breath when the weight of words crash down on me? I feel stranded and I can't take it, I'm wandering lost. Don't make me comfort you, don't make me crawl inside your head. Don't make me comfort you, don't make me crawl, crawl, crawl. I will take apart the view and you will take apart the scene. Take away the mask of innocence, it doesn't suit you. Don't make me comfort you, don't make me crawl inside your head. Don't make me comfort you, don't make me crawl, crawl, crawl. I feel stranded and I can't take it, I'm wandering lost. Don't make me comfort you, don't make me crawl inside your head. Don't make me comfort you, don't make me crawl, crawl, crawl.

Seven hours and a handful of doubt, the candle burns quick now, time is running out. I never asked for this yet somehow here we are, I never asked for this, now I can't live without. Time moves, time heals, time slips, time steals. Forty pages and a handful of doubt, The eyes are tired now, the words are fading out. I never asked for this yet somehow here we are, I never asked for this, now I can't live without. Time flies, time fills, time wastes, time kills. I will leave behind all of the hours, I will find a way, a way out. I will walk away from all the years with a handful of doubt. A handful of doubt! I will leave behind all of the pages, I will live without, live without. I will walk away far from here with just a handful of doubt. A handful of doubt! Twenty years and a handful of doubt, the candle burns quick now and time is running out.

Something in me I don't understand, a demand, a threatening voice with a firm command. A liar, a danger, a killer, a stranger. I guess that's me! I will extol you, I will control you, I will pick you up just to let you down. I will desire you, I will tire of you, I will pull you in just to see you drown. Someone in me I don't recognize, a disguise, a faint reflection with far away eyes. A liar, a danger, a killer, a stranger. I guess that's me! I will extol you, I will control you, I will build you up just to tear you down. I will desire you, I will tire of you, I will pull you in just to see you drown. I will extol you, I will control you, I will lift you up just to drag you down. I will desire you, I will tire of you, I will pull you in just to see you drown.

Was standing in the darkness I was watching over you and all the fears came drifting back with every little breath you drew. Wished upon a falling star, cold and pale against the night. All the fears came drifting back to cloud the view and steal the light. Was underneath a falling snow, I was lying next to you and all the fears came floating down with every little wind that blew. Wished upon a passing cloud, cold and pale against the gray. All the fears came floating down to cloud the view and steal the day. May you never know this darkness and may you never be so blind. May you always know the peace that I could never seem to find. May you never know this darkness, may you always see the light. May you always know the peace that comforts you tonight.
