Rage in Eden lyrics

Something stops me from seeing too clear
A misty haze floats round the room
The murmurs make it hard to hear
The voices and the words

The days seem to drag away
My speech is sparse and tends to slur
I wonder what happened to my friend to day
Can't hear the words

Chorus:

O O
Your name has slipped my mind again
O O O O O
O O
Your name has slipped my mind again
O O O O O

The words played on around our heads
Perhaps we went too far
We'll soldier on until the end again

This clutching hand around my hand
So pitiful and frail
Makes bleeding hearts begin to beat again

Chorus:

We stand in a different light
That's cast upon this gigolo and gigolette
We stand with a different frame around us now
But when we talk we talk in time

We sit and watch these lifeless forms
Stark and petrified
The high suspense of an empty stage drawing in clutching to its breast
With murmured words we sigh and focus on the main facade

Beyond the hard reluctant windows
News from magazines
We wrote their names on books we'd borrowed as if to bring us closer still
And threw it all away to focus on the main facade

Chorus:

We turned the dial, we heard the news and laughed, we don't know why
We drank the wine and spoke of times we knew of days gone by
We flicked through photographs we had, somehow they made us sad
Remembering the times we used to have, it made us cry

Oh I remember death in the afternoon

A silence fell about the room with harsh and heavy calm

What is this phase that I am going through
O these precious years
Please take my hand and let me breathe again
Young depressive tears

We stumble blindly chasing something new and something sinful

You take my time you live my life for me
What have I done to rate this penalty
You suck me dry
My body cries

We stumble blindly chasing instant thrills and lasting memories

Light comes through a crack in the door
I tape up the windows once more
Tight like a cold hand of steel
Don't fear the stranger within

Hands that petrify in the air
Eyes catching things never there
Sweet tension caught on my breath
Don't fear the stranger within

Watch every shape that escapes
Scared to make the final mistake
Speak to hear the sound of your voice
