Strange, familiar the face Displayed, still retains its grace And while you disappear Never my heart so near So near Released from severed pride constraints Detaching brittle smiles from pain Obscured once Whirling from my memories instead From the ashes, settle in my head Evasive, clinging to the places where we hide Pulling all inside of me outside Slow, passing the lines Forgetting the ones gone by Her hands faking control Tearing my heart, my soul My soul Released from severed pride constraints Detaching brittle smiles from pain Obscured once Whirling from my memories instead From the ashes, settle in my head Evasive, clinging to the places where we hide Pulling all inside of me outside A few words to speak, none to express Some empty words I leave you with I hope they'll bring some comfort nonetheless None for me I must admit They abandon the scene Fleeing still further from me And while crowds disappear Never my heart so near So near Obscured once Whirling from my memories instead From the ashes, settle in my head Evasive, clinging to the places where we hide Pulling all inside of me outside Obscured once Whirling from my memories instead From the ashes, settle in my head Evasive, clinging to the places where we hide Pulling all inside of me outside
