Why can't I find the words I'm searching for,
in this missing life I want something more
the day's unwinding, I'm so sick of dying
all over again
there's no pot of gold,
no wishing well,
nothing left to save me,
when death toll's it's bell.
No swan song to sing,
a prisoner's life doesn't mean anything
The cold wind on my face, left without feeling being replaced.
This dead empty feeling, what is the meaning
of a dream without words, of a heart without beating?
no breath left for singing out, my soul true,
cause' I find that I'm missing you.
Why can't I find the life I've been longing for,
Your face is hidden from me, how can I try anymore
It's been so long since I've turned my back from you,
I've been away from 'home' I swear it's true..
there's no pot of gold,
no wishing well,
nothing left to save me,
when death toll's it's bell.
Traveled this earth, sea by sea,
to try and prove how much you mean to me.
I was too strong then to tell you how I felt,
In your arms I had everything,
In your eyes you kept nothing from me.
In your heart was a love that burned me,
washed away my sin in a sea of flame,
in arms of change I was intoxicated became derranged.
Left you standing by the door, your heart bleeding out
as I tore away from this war. Left you to fend for yourself,
although I'd swore to fight at your side forever and more.
Regretting my life after that point,
I traveled the world over, looking to restore
the heart that I broke in promise I implore.
to hear this one out to confess how I adore,
The eyes that showed me worlds unknown,
to the heart that protected me from the secret storm,
of hatred and malice, of strife and challenge.
there's no pot of gold,
no wishing well,
nothing left to save me,
when death toll's it's bell.
Arms that held me safe and sound, so gentle so calming
till trouble would come around.
That struck out in justice, unchallenged defiance
to hold onto love so precious that no one denied it.
In those arms I had everything, in your mind every answer I could fathom
Waiting for arms of change,
until then my life doesn't mean anything
no sense in living, not even worth killing.
living a life out derranged, broken I'm trying,
so sick of dying over and over again.
there's no pot of gold,
no wishing well,
nothing left to save me,
when death toll's it's bell.
My instincts gone, my will pressing on, I reach out for you all dignity robbed.
To apologise for betraying you,for not fighting still strong.
the influnce that forced me to tarry not long...
To leave your side though I knew it was wrong.
My heart so aches my soul it grieves, for the time you've been missing,
my pain could never be eased, no soul could calm me though I know they've tried.
Thinking I could love them I knew it to be a lie.
Their love didn't scorch me, never tore down these stone walls,
that I've built around me strong and sound.
Never again have they crashed around me from the touch of another,
a touch that wasn't yours, a heart that wasn't yours, arms that weren't yours.
I've been selfish and I hate it, but still yet as ever I'm always yours.
Come home and forgive me, I just want to be yours..
