Long Day Good Night

It’s been long since I’ve been home And like a dream these thoughts return to me Remember how it felt although I forget the names, and faces are strangers now It’s been hard since I’ve been gone Watching from afar and growing further apart I am here to let you know, I’m aware of the days And now it’s time to go home I’ve stayed the path One that I understand where I am Ignored the cages set before And chose the life that I was offered The page forever altered, songs left unsung The destination onward is still unknown Outside the world keeps turning round (I give everything I have) Inside the rain is crashing down (I give everything now) I give everything I have Play innocent Acting indifferent when it ends The world’s a stage we play our parts Then take our exit with heavy hearts The page forever altered, songs left unsung The destination onward is still unknown Outside the world keeps turning round (I give everything I have) Inside the rain is crashing down (I give everything now) Sometimes we have to face things alone (I give everything I have) The miles of highways stretching Are unrelenting, separating us (I give everything now) Now words are phrased Between ones and zeros And our fate, what is it? Is it destiny, a destiny we follow? Are we blind, chasing time With regrets and sorrow? Now the road draws me back Home will have to wait Embrace the time we borrow Outside the world keeps turning round (I give everything I have) Inside the rain is crashing down (I give everything now) Sometimes we have to face things alone (I give everything I have) The miles of highways stretching Are unrelenting, separating us

Welcome back, we’ve turned the page On this open book we call change All this to bring the memories closer But what exists beyond words Those that were left unspoken Now flood the page unbroken Try to hide in some shuttered world again And find it hard to align loss with win All this leads to indecision One more way to sow division It's not the end, there's a long, long way to go Time won't wait for anyone And as the days go racing forward Look back, it's almost over Try to hide in some shuttered world again And find it hard to align loss with win All this leads to indecision One more way to sow division It’s not the end, there's a long, long way to go Ahead of me I see the days Where things were never meant to stay Look back and inwards What was left inside? Oh, I've sacrificed, I laid it down Uncertain of the future Still I take another step for now I know That I am home Try to hide in some shuttered world again And find it hard to align loss with win All this leads to indecision One more way to sow division It’s not the end, there’s a long, long way to go To go

I walked the other day among the faces in the crowd Trading glances all along the way As daylight disappeared and shadows slipped away Along deserted sidewalks The streetlights guide the way I wandered without aim, fading in and out of sight And left the urban glow behind me for now I linger for a while taking in the quiet night Then realize my heartbeat is the only sound I wanted to believe That we have a second chance And I thought that you would be The one to understand That all alone we have this sacrifice Waiting in the wings for us to fall I move now patiently I turn to face this great expanse And I felt the coldness of the night With my own hands Now all alone we have this sacrifice Waiting in the wings for us to fall Is all the loneliness a sacrifice worth living with? All alone we have to walk I found the lost highways Winding throughout the endless miles ahead I have discovered the places We’re never meant to roam The streetlights drop away Surrounded now by emptiness And I know that I am now the one Who understands, I am one with night Now all alone we face this sacrifice Waiting in the wings for us to fall Is all this loneliness a sacrifice worth living with? All alone we have to walk And all alone And all alone All alone we walk

Say goodbye you're going home Your heart aglow You think about the times you were Holding on to those who've always shown That the world is sometimes not so cold And the time has come for you to go now Stepping into the unknown Hoping that you won't feel alone anymore So you put your faith blindly In someone else's hands to take control But how were you to know That something in the night was wrong So you take your final step through the door Innocence, nothing remains Indifference is hard to contain One step away from falling from grace Learn how to live without somehow Vanity, farewell to sacred sanity It's rusted, decayed All that's inside is eating alive The damage is done, forget the way home Waiting in vain, there at night, silence the only answer Fading away into the night, into the immense unknown Those final words, that goodbye, those thoughts you'll hold forever Escaping pain, forsaking light, can we find the way home? Can we find the way home? Can we find the way home? Waiting in vain, there at night, silence the only answer Fading away into the night, into the immense unknown Those final words, that goodbye, those thoughts you'll hold forever Escaping pain, forsaking light, can we find the way home? Can we find the way home? Can we find the way home?

Another day and you open up your eyes into the clouds A summer breeze comes and pushes everything away for now With every beat of your heart the ocean chases away doubt Imagining that the waves can wash away the pain some how Hey, hey, under the sun I'll wait for you Hey, hey, under the sun I will wait there for you I will wait there for you When beauty's gone in that moment is it time to redefine A tragedy with one solitary ordinary line Hey, hey, under the sun I'll wait for you Hey, hey, under the sun I will wait for you I will wait there You will find your way In the meantime I will stay Time will find a way to forgive All the passing days Hey, hey, under the sun I'll wait for you Hey, hey, under the sun I'll wait for you I will wait there Hey, hey, under the sun I'll wait for you Hey, hey, under the sun I'll wait for you I will wait there for you

I stand above the smoking ruins I can pick up the pieces again I won't pretend there is no end To what we learn from spite Avoiding the hurdles throughout all the wreckage Desolate world all that's left And trying to hide all the scars that come Along with the mission I stand above the smoking ruins I can pick up the pieces again I'm afraid that mercy Will soon turn to vengeance Left there forsaken And when you're walking alone There where shadows fall I will come for you then I stand above the smoking ruins I can pick up the pieces again We all wander With our heavy hearts disguised As a monster, the most fragile kind Afraid to close our eyes Oh, am I broken? Oh, have I sunk so deep inside? Like falling backwards into empty space And out the other side (I stand above the smoking ruins) (I can pick up the pieces again) I stand above the smoking ruins I can pick up the pieces again I stand above the smoking ruins I can pick up the pieces again

Forget the stars above you Forget the ties that hold you I confess Time flows so slowly When you’re holding on to broken memories Push aside regret And now the night is falling That darkness comes from within Forget the lies they told you Forget the skies above you Just leave the miles behind you One day the truth will find you I confess The past is gone, it’s over Though the harm is done Nothing lasts forever, not the stars and sun And now the night is falling That darkness comes from within And now the night is calling And you begin again Oh, lamenting all those yesterdays And pretending that the world would change It goes on, and even though I know You’ve waited so long You never thought it would end like this And now the night is falling That darkness comes from within And now the night is calling And you begin again

We betray innocence When we choose to stray beyond the fence Now it's dawn, sky is gray And the path before us fades away And snow falls now blinding me Through the dark we have to feel Our way back home I felt safe in that bed In a way I'm sure you'd understand But snow falls now, I know I'm lost Looking back I cannot count the cost And snow falls now blinding me Through the dark we have to feel Our way back home Holding on desperately To a world that's wrong for me And I know it's cold outside Just say goodbye Snow falls now blinding me (And snowfall's our destiny) Through the dark we have to feel (Through the dark we have to feel) Our way back Snow falls now blinding me (Snowfall's our destiny) Through the dark we have to feel (Through the dark we have to feel) Our way back home Snow falls now blinding me Through the dark we have to feel our way back Snow falls now blinding me Through the dark we have to feel our way back home

For too long they wait and hunger For words that play for them Forget to understand where the man Made his fortune, it was handed down to him And we know it's all wrong Lie in concert again Flailing in the words they spin To be undone they'd have to Look below and beyond So far gone your words have crumbled And lie in bitterness Lie in concert again Flailing in the words they spin To be undone they'd have to Look below and beyond Trying to claim your destiny Is something far beyond What is reality? You know that it has caused Such dissidence among the throngs Of those who have no fault Time is the one to finally judge What you have wrought Understand where the man Made his fortune, it was handed down to him And we know it's your swan song Lie in concert again Flailing in the words they spin To be undone they'd have to Look below and beyond Lie in concert again Flailing in the words they spin To be undone they'd have to Look below and beyond Forget pain, forget loss Forget everything that you thought (Lie in concert again) Forget pain, forget loss (Flailing in the words they spin) Forget everything you want (Lie in concert again) Liar, the one that hides below, not your God

You try to pretend you understand What lies within the lines you've read Are you so lost? Dying inside, falling out of view Blinded by light, calling out to you... Rise up, wipe away those blinding ashes Take off the tether that demands devotion The tether that demands You lie and defend The truth is blurred behind The glass house you live in Now that's over Dying inside, falling out of view Blinded by light, calling out you... Rise up and wipe away those blinding ashes Take off the tether that demands devotion Rise up and take your absolution in stride Wake up and never underestimate the lie Can you understand? And never underestimate the lie Dying inside you're falling out of view Blinded by light and all you do Is try to hide it's all you knew Now face the lies Rise up and wipe away the blinding ashes Take off the tether that demands devotion Rise up and take this absolution in stride Wake up and never underestimate the lie

The longest shadow of the day Stretches out into the gray Paints our flight in softening light Bends our aim to the night The longest shadow of the day Reaches out along the way Shrouds our sight in failing light Turns our gaze to the night How long can this last? How long will we stray? In this plight of fading light The longest shadow of the day We all will go down We all fall prey Lose the fight to the dying light The longest shadow of the day The long shadow The long, long shadow of the day The long shadow The long, long, longest shadow of the day

These memories Come falling down like leaves We were just fools pretending The world was at our knees Headlong into the summer sun But now our winter has begun The days ahead Just questions in the mist While we wonder How we ever ended up like this Hope and fear, of thee I sing What will tomorrow bring? It's hard to understand where the time went Looking back upon the years, I never dreamt That fate would show its hand and a life spent Walking down the only road I've ever known The curtain falls Upon a darkened stage Voices fade like words across Some worn out ending page The writer writes his final wrong This is the last song
