Unbidden shadows of you formed yesterday I ran away to a room here on the bay Interrupted life again, another new beginning Where the silence echoes you're no longer with me Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom Even though I may be alone, but that's okay Through the darkness I would walk in the streets Confessions never seemed to provide me with a release Held me down and tried to cure me tried to give me reason But nothing could separate this burdened mind from me Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom Even though I may be alone, but that's okay And looking out to a different sky will disengage me Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade I do not seek and do not intend to find A calmer ocean or a sun that never will rise My world will never change and time will bring you to my thoughts, and I'll move on and then forget you all over again Moving on, I can forgive you all over again Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom Even though I may be alone, but that's ok And looking out onto a different sky it seems so easy Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade
