Anywhere But Here

Your name, the union of mere letters

That shouldn't really matter to me now

Your face, once altered my perspective

Now distant and deceptive, yet somehow

A memory my heart will not allow

Your voice, though even died down to a whisper

Still could be sending shivers down my spine

Your touch, once cut through my defences

Then robbed me of my senses and my mind

Now take a look at the mess you left behind

My dreams were neatly bent

To where they've lost all meaning

Where days have no beginning

And nights don't seem to end

To shelter from the rain

Still I'm drowning in compliance

By some conspiracy of silence

In this shattered house of pain

From here, life seems a foolish display

Of a world in shades of grey

My dreams have all been bent

To where they've lost all meaning

Where days have no beginning

And nights don't seem to end

To shelter from the rain

Still I'm drowning in compliance

By some conspiracy of silence

In this shattered house of pain

And from here, life seems an armour of steel

With nothing left to feel

And still, your image is so vivid and clear

Anywhere but here
