The Rowan Tree - The King's Own Scottish Borderers Military Band

You can't hide behind those pretty hazel eyes And say that everything's alright My love, our world has split in two I, I don't want to make you mad But baby, I'm falling fast How are you okay with that? And time always seemed to pass us by Like a fleeting memory at night Gone before you realize Why do we even try When you've left inside your mind? You can't hide behind those pretty hazel eyes And say that everything's alright My love, our world has split in two I've given all I have, but still I find a way And I'll just suffocate As you ignore the elephant in the room The elephant in the room You stare into space And I just fade away No, I don't think I'm doing fine Been a couple long months since I Got the chance to feel alive You said, "No, don't let me go" I'm slipping fast, I lose control It's sad that you're the only thing I know You can't hide behind those pretty hazel eyes And say that everything's alright My love, our world has split in two I've given all I have, but still I find a way And I'll just suffocate As you ignore the elephant in the room The elephant in the room You stare into space And I just fade away You stare into space And I just fade away

Oh I was drawn to the dark nights Deafened by the stories told The freedom of the unknown Was broken by the bitter cold As it chewed and it gnawed at my bones The bitter taste that temptation left in my mouth Remains no matter how hard I try to spit it out Oh I try an I try through the days and through the nights to lift the weight above me before I crack through the ice Whispers of the night Hold me tightly Under the waters of Demise As the current shifts just slightly I can almost taste the blue skies Oh I've taken flight Just to end up grounded with my eyes shut tight Oh I know where your demons hide Underneath your skin they cut you deep and wide Every thought I've taken echoes in my mind I'm hindered by the shallow fear of my own design Oh I hold to these vices of mine just To feel the pull of weakness one last time Whispers of the night Hold me tightly Under the waters of Demise As the current shifts just slightly I can almost taste the blue skies
