lyrics

Hopelessness and desperation
Have become my comfort
I find terror in the thought that
Change could end my suffering

I've been stripped of everything
There's nothing left of me here
Not even a memory
I've become content with this dreary wasteland
Afraid to seek out change
But this lingering hope won't leave me
It nags at the center of my being
It compels me to move, to search
To find someone here who completes me

Innocent
In my desperation
I
Seek another life
One I'm calling out to
With everything inside me
This is my last my hope
I wander aimlessly
Clinging to this incessant distant dream

Finally
I catch a glimpse of her
She's shining
Bathed in blue light
I can feel my soul igniting

I give chase
I long to look into her eyes
I know that everything I've lost
Within her gaze I'll find

But now I've lost her in the crowd
Desperation closes in on me
I can't lose her now
I've found the source of my hope
I can feel it in my heart
Having this ripped from me
Will tear me apart

I knew I should have left it
Well enough alone
This hope I've found has done nothing
But drag me deeper

Hopelessness and desperation
Have become my comfort
I find terror in the thought that
Change could end my suffering

All of the light that shines from within her
Won't stop calling to me
I must accept that this hope will never fade
Until the day I find her

I made love with my girlfriend so many times on this album. It is incredible. The songs are so beautiful and the rythm so well coordinated for this kind of moment... Anyway, always good to listen to it in the bus too Faugus
