Song lyrics
Cold, lying in my bed
Staring into darkness

Lost, I hear footsteps overhead
And my thoughts return again

Like a child who’s run away
And won’t be coming back
Time keeps passing by
As night turns into day

I’m so far away
And so alone
I need to see your face
To keep me sane
To make we whole

Try to stay alive
Until I hear your voice
I’m gonna lose my mind
Someone tell me why
I chose this life
This superficial le
Constant compromise
Endless sacrifice

Pain, it saddens me to know
The helplessness you feel
Your light shines on my soul
While a thousand candles burn

Outside this barren room
The rain is pouring down
The emptiness inside
Is growing deeper still

You’re so far away
And so alone
You long for love’s embrace
To keep you sane
To make you whole

Try to stay alive
Until I hear your voice
I’m gonna lose my mind

Someone tell me why
I chose this life
This superficial lie
Constant compromise
Endless sacrifice

Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice

Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice

Over the distance
We try to make sense
Of surviving together
While living apart

Striving for balance
We rise to the challenge
Of staying connected
In spite of circumstance

All you’ve forsaken
And all that you’ve done
So that I could live out
This undying dream

Won’t be forgotten
Or taken for granted
I’ll always remember
Your endless sacrifice

Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice

Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice

This song rules. I adore DT. Seriously though, I really relate to this song. DT continues to impress me... *Awaits next album* <--- head bob, not "yes."

i heard DT's next album will be the opposite of tot, with accoustic and grand piano. i'm looking forward to it, the heavy stuff of tot is great, but it needs more balance on the cd. awake and images and words are great balances.

When I first heard this song, I heard the intro guitar part, and I was like, oh shit, this is gonna be forking great. Then the synth solo came, and from there on I fell in love with it. Rock the fork on people.
