The lyrics to the song are as follows;
“Eyes go shut
I dissipate
Into thin air leaving no trace
Distant voice
Not listening
Why don’t you just save your breath?All of your words feel like a jail
That blocks the sun and makes me stale
Not enough gold in all the world
So why have I surrenderedTo your abusive ways
The cracks have opened up to the core
Is there anywhere to go from here now?
Sick with the lies consuming our soulsGive me one reason to take the breath we breathe for granted
Hold it in so long that you forget to say
Give me one reason to remain confined within the fences
Here with you and my soul on displayBite my tongue
Swallow the pain
A bit disturbed by these displays
Now we’ve got nothing to say
The silence growing deadlySo here we are drifting apart
Neither willing to drop their guard
Haven’t we got something to say?
The distance growing deadlyFrom years and years of pain
The cracks go deeper than we can see
Let’s take a good look at where we are now
Maybe the end’s the start that we needGive me one reason to take the breath we breathe for granted
Hold it in so long that you forget to say
Give me one reason to remain confined within the fences
Here with you and my soul on displayLife is too precious to waste”
The email address you’ll want is gtcom-song2010-jp@polyphony.co.jp. Anyone got any good suggestions? We like ‘About Time’ or ‘How Long?!’
