I can't be the way you say
I can't breathe, I suffocate
Though I try to motion free
I am changed and you're the key
Down the line the feeling's changed
Tell me why it all seems strange
In my heart it seems to me
Like I'm dying emotionally
There was once a time of peace
You and I could find release
But in time the wind has changed
And we can't go back again
Now the voice speaks out of time
Teasing me and telling lies
Now I find the water's deep
So I'm drowning helplessly
KILL THE NIGHTMARES, KILL THE MEMORIES...
TIME HAS CAST A SPELL UPON ME, PRIDE IS LOST BELOW HER
TIME HAS BROUGHT THIS HELL UPON ME, TIDE CAN WASH IT OVER
IT'S TIME TO PRAY...
I concede from break of day
Can't believe the things you say
Backing down to keep the peace
But with dignity at least
You come down so hard on me
I forget what used to be
My perspective on these things
Is distorted and unhinged
Once upon a time, you see
Things would fly for you and me
Talk for hours and not repeat
It felt whole, it felt complete
So, of that which now remains
Things are different, not the same
Now the face of this has changed
There's just no way back again...
