Rising again to the shining skies
a smile within, but contempt outside
got an avalanche of words that won’t be spoken
and a houseful of feelings to carefully hide.
This tongue isn’t enough to unveil the heart
for words deceive our ways into a winless war
only these eyes open the doors of burning fire
but baby, we are so close yet so far.
We rush through these alleys in search of something
crossing all the miles with this rock on our head
we put up a face that speaks words in millions
but know not what it is until it’s dead.
Truth embraces these four walls of blinding darkness
for daylight reveals the painful and bleeding scar
hearts long for each other, but hands don’t reach
‘cause baby, we are so close yet so far.
We ‘re making this journey beyond the end of road
places we passed have turned desolate and cursed
can’t read these lines of the book of our life
for vain is everything that we saw and touched.
Put on new clothing, but this heart’s always the same
it’s time that moves on while we stay where we are.
The road we take to go is the road we need to return
but baby, we are so close yet so far.
My face is melting like a candle of shame
bones are burning in this tormenting flame
fences are circling the thoughts that stream
yet, blood in my veins is calling your name.
Voices and dances are filling shrill silence
lone red rose and I wait while fortunes spar
for it’s Valentine’s Day, if you still remember
but baby, we are so close yet so far.

i remember those heartbreaks and the scars survive."Put on new clothing, but this heart’s always the same
it’s time that moves on while we stay where we are.
The road we take to go is the road we need to return
