take me far from here
make my silence clear
friend that I've ignored, too long
I've come to you to hear your crystal song
lose me in a dream
and pull me down the stream
yes I've drowned my thoughts to sleep
let them rise, let them steep
O Solitude, I've made a mess of you
I haven't heard a thing you say
you call my name
my thoughts all melt away
what's left is where I'd like to stay
but I'm running from myself
in the basement of my mind
i held on to my last hope so tight
to fall would bring a blackness without end
we fight to keep the light as long we can
What can I say?
I've looked the other way
I feared the echo in the cave
So bring the wave(!)
forget the peace we save
yes it's the torrent that I crave
but I'm (still) running from myself
and when you've had enough
of this game
when there's nothing hung on your name
come find me in the wood that you burn
I'll be burning soft red, always
