Drawing Down the Sun
The mourners bow their heads<br/> But I am not a part<br/> Of their flow in the evening rain<br/> Despite how hard I try<br/> I'm left just to be<br/> Lonely and afraid<br/> <br/> My sober thoughts are there<br/> I have kept them away,<br/> A silence through the glass<br/> It's colder when you're here<br/> Your vanity makes me bleed<br/> Delusions never pass<br/> <br/> Your silence helps me pull away<br/> I push you further from my thoughts<br/> You may be pleased with how I feel<br/> But a friend is all I sought<br/> The days just blend into a whole,<br/> The pale skies just seem to grow<br/> I have so much to give,<br/> More than you'll ever know<br/> <br/> My useless pulse is through<br/> My hope is given away,<br/> My trust has been misplaced<br/> I struggle through the haze<br/> If you simply saw my face<br/> I'd find a way to stay<br/> <br/> We didn't speak at all<br/> Of how we felt,<br/> It doesn't matter now<br/> And so you're gone<br/> No one seems to want<br/> Me to be around<br/> <br/> Losing myself<br/> In nowhere,<br/> Away from your eyes<br/> But what do you care<br/> If I'm not here<br/> Just tell me why

I try so hard to make things right<br/> I need your strength to get me through<br/> I don't think you realise<br/> Just how much that you could do<br/> <br/> I can't do right for being wrong<br/> No matter what I do,<br/> If you know better than myself<br/> Put the knowledge please to use<br/> <br/> It's not so easy on my own<br/> My smiles, they wear so thin<br/> The emptiness surrounding me<br/> I'll gladly welcome in<br/> <br/> I know this should be home<br/> I know it's not for me,<br/> I really can't break this alone<br/> If only...

I don't want to be a burden<br/> I don't want to be alone<br/> I just seem to keep falling<br/> Through no fault of my own<br/> <br/> Soft words fall on deafened ears<br/> Echoes in my fragile shell<br/> So numb with no feelings<br/> And so unable to tell<br/> <br/> I can't see my way forward<br/> I keep slipping away,<br/> Simply trying is not enough<br/> I won't give in this way<br/> <br/> There's a light I can follow on<br/> But my way is damned,<br/> If I can't find the path ahead<br/> Won't stay till I end<br/> <br/> Let's sit here for a while<br/> I'll try to crack a smile<br/> I want you here, but I'm not sure<br/> Take my hand, will you lead?<br/> Dress my wounds, so I won't bleed<br/> I think we've been through this before<br/> <br/> When I'm so down, you're not around<br/> I now know I don't need you here<br/> My broken mind will someday find<br/> A way to hold my dearest near<br/> <br/> Who said this isn't murder?<br/> That's just how it feels to me

In murder, would you kiss the death for me?<br/> A pallid constant stream<br/> So amber in our tastes, but dare we dream?<br/> Drink deep the sight of me<br/> <br/> So fill me, I feel your warm flesh on my skin<br/> And blindly feel my way<br/> Embracing an emptiness that pours from you<br/> A weakness I still crave<br/> <br/> Tongues that whisper on leaves that fell from you<br/> Rotting in the autumn dew<br/> Broken feelings of how you made me feel<br/> With your body cover me<br/> Heaven pours from your throat into mine<br/> I taste the sweetness from your amber

Alone with my thoughts<br/> I hide inside myself<br/> Content with my breathing<br/> Just leave me to drown<br/> An empty room,<br/> They line at my door<br/> Such ghosts at my window<br/> Please tell me what for<br/> <br/> My transient stupor<br/> And no one to care<br/> Away from it all<br/> Broken away,<br/> Your wanton smile,<br/> So eager to dream<br/> Jaded but strong<br/> What do you see?<br/> <br/> To have you close<br/> Would be almost<br/> Too much to bear,<br/> When your words are sighs<br/> Let me catch your eyes<br/> And have me there<br/> <br/> Overjoyed too long,<br/> Now that I am gone<br/> I'm lost again<br/> I'm sure I'll cope<br/> Talk to you I hope,<br/> I'm not sure when<br/> <br/> I sit here away from you<br/> Alone with my thoughts<br/> I sit here away from you<br/> Alone with my thoughts<br/> <br/> I sit here away from you<br/> I sit here away from you<br/> Alone with my thoughts

It's not that I don't care<br/> I simply don't know<br/> It's not that I'm not there<br/> I feel safe on my own<br/> <br/> Nowhere, nowhere...<br/> <br/> It's not that I don't see,<br/> I just choose to be blind<br/> For me that's always been<br/> No one by my side<br/> <br/> It's not that I don't feel<br/> But why get involved?<br/> There's too much that is real<br/> Will you ever be told?<br/> Will you ever be told?

I find it hard to speak my mind<br/> I guess I need encouraging<br/> To escape and maybe find<br/> A cure for my ruins<br/> I'm young enough to change my ways<br/> My future's still not set<br/> I can harbor any blame<br/> And learn from my regrets<br/> <br/> I have problems just like you<br/> I won't drink them all away<br/> I see no need to talk them through<br/> I have demons just the same<br/> To keep them in is my remedy<br/> In time I hope they'll fade<br/> It's not the way I know to feel<br/> But allow me such a grace<br/> <br/> I try to find the way to say something<br/> It's always been in vain, when I say something<br/> Could you really help me to say something<br/> Bring me close to you and say something<br/> <br/> I've told you that I'm fine<br/> Surely that's enough<br/> Why are you concerned?<br/> My diary knows it all<br/> It's healed that I confide<br/> A tomb for all I've learned

Alone I awoke to the sound of the rain<br/> Can't you leave me?<br/> The constant tapping at my window pane<br/> So eager to see<br/> I watch the sky behind broken glass<br/> The colours so rusted and hued<br/> Am I transparent, alone in my haze?<br/> My thoughts are of you<br/> <br/> I turned away from your gaze<br/> And disappeared in the crowd,<br/> Your eyes sought, but couldn't find<br/> I don't want to be found<br/> <br/> Is it so hard to believe in myself?<br/> I'm just a blur,<br/> My face is blank to the outside world<br/> To avoid being hurt<br/> I only speak when I'm spoken about<br/> So empty I feel,<br/> If I'm to drown I will drown all alone<br/> It's not a big deal<br/> <br/> I turned away from your gaze<br/> And disappeared in the crowd,<br/> Your eyes sought, but couldn't find<br/> I don't want to be found
