The Label - Friend Within

Gathered for this mess Abandon all that you know You say that you're not blind Yet you can't see which way the river flows The engines start to seize The walls begin to close The betrayal that you see Yet you can't see which way the river flows The end, it has begun So blind that you can't see Visions that don't exist Of despair and misery As you sink forever further The quicksand in your mind And the day turns into night You choose what you shall find As the waters pull you under With nowhere left to go You say you see tomorrow Yet you can't see which way the river flows

Lord, I question whether I've had my fill Lord, I question whether I can take much more You may laugh as I lay here bleeding, baby, yeah No more afters or befores Some day you'll know just how I feel You left me there twice before Some day you'll know just how it feels Shattered, cast aside, stripped of your pride Like you were never nothing special Made you feel like another spoke in the wheel So you say I'm just another dollar, baby So you say I'm just another day, yeah Once my blood was strong but now it's jaded and it's thin Unlike you I can still tell right from wrong Some day you'll know just how it feels While you left me there twice before Some day you'll know just how it feels Shattered, cast aside, stripped of your pride Like you were never nothing special Made you feel like another spoke in the wheel Some day you'll know just how it feels While you left me there twice before Some day you'll know just how it feels Shattered, cast aside, stripped of your pride Like you were never nothing special Made you feel like another spoke in the wheel

Is there a place deep within? A place where you hide your darkest sins There's a strange kind of ambiance it's surrounding you As a songstress you lure me towards the truth Candles die down as you leave the room In my heart you feel no gloom As you lure me I know the truth You're a leprechaun, I see you through Is there a place deep within? A place where you hide your darkest sins There's a strange kind of ambiance it's surrounding you As a songstress you lure me towards the truth

Cry without tears See without sight Night without day And every day's black as the night Fly without wings Feel without touch Touch without feel And everywhere nothing is real I wanna see from within I wanna be where I've been I want a truth, not a lie I wanna live 'fore die Life without death World without end Sleep without dreams And nothing is quite what it seems I want something More than you'll know Follow myself And go where you can never go And I see though my eyes are closed I wanna see from within I wanna be where I've been I want the truth, not a lie I wanna live 'fore I die Inside you without your blessing Inside me is me confessing Outside you is outside me And inside there is no guarantee, no I wanna see from within I wanna be where I've been I want a truth, not a lie I wanna live 'fore I die See from within I wanna be where I've been I want a truth, not a lie I wanna live 'fore I die (And go where you can never go) Cry without tears Night without day
