EP • 1997
Why, I've found perfection now it slips through my grasp Child, you touch me now as life flows through my hands gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the warmth of your eyes) Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind) Love, I'll get through this if you stand at my side Alone, this fear across me it shall never subside gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the warmth of your eyes) Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind) You speak to me in rhythm and it waves across the water You speak to me in ways that I don't understand deep inside I hear every word every way And after all is lost there is nothing left inside of me I long for your touch How I need to breathe your breath again Deep inside me I know I'm alone how I cherish your persuasive warmth This is not what I want life to be (there is no way I can stop this now) And there's nothing left inside of me I long for your touch How I need to breathe your breath again Deep inside me I know I'm alone how I cherish your persuasive warmth This is not what I want life to be (there is no way I can stop this now) And there's nothing left inside of me Why, I've found perfection now it slips through my grasp Child, you touch me now as life flows through my hands gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the warmth of your eyes) Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind) Love, I'll get through this if you stand at my side Alone, this fear across me it shall never subside gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the warmth of your eyes) Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind) Endlessly unfallen words I cannot replace don't cry my love, I believe that I won't fail you again But I long to be your servant once more By the morning light I'll have breathed my last I implore you, don't forget my love Don't cry my love, I believe that I won't fail you again But I long to be your servant once more By the morning light I'll have breathed my last I implore you, don't forget.

Dying over and over in my mind As you twist the knife I wonder why Why you bothered to take this time too concerned with yours I should think of mine Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see) While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream) Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone) I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me) My pain is all inside Until razor and arm collide From my heart upon the floor Take my blood but you take more Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see) While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream) Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone) I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me) Take my life, you take more Of my life, take some more Just let me die Dying over and over in my mind As you twist the knife I wonder why Why you bothered to take this time too concerned with yours I should think of mine Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see) While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream) Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone) I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me) Of my life, take some more.
