LYRICS : Betrayed By The Light

I need new hope to get me through 

Hope I got I borrowed from you

In this world where everyone's so afraid

You're either dying slowly or you're quickly be insane

I need new eyes through which to see

Even a blind man sees better than me

Since you left it's all been black and white

I'm afraid of the dark but I've been betrayed by the light

I need new love to love you with

Of the love I had I don't have nothing left

To all my fear you know I gave it away

The devil in my heart has been driving me insane

So now your lover stole your shoes

You're walking in your socks

Policeman in your mind

Keeps on cheapening the shots

Your handcuff to your head

You think nobody could care

And underneath your bed you think

No one knows you're there

In the promised land between torture and repair

Between your memory and all the voices that you hear

Visiting your dreams and ... your pain

The past teaching the present it's loneliest refrain

I think I can hear the voices of the dead

In my memory from underneath the endless ground

Visiting my dream where there ain't no such thing as time

And when I try to scream you know I never make a sound

"I am you" said one dead man to me

I ignored him in my sleep until I woke up in his dream

His ghost jumped in my mind like a sea where I bathed

He flew into my shadow like a bat flies in a cave

I need new dreams to dream at night

A dream of laughter void a fright

My lonely dreaming has turned me grey

First I fall in love with you then you become my prey

Can't find nobody just to do me a favor

Trying to look good in the eyes of the savior

Ever since I was young I heard my soul is in danger

And punishment will come from the hands of my maker

Well we get exactly what we deserve

You're fragile like an egg and I'm exposed like a nerve

Sitting in the sun in all this damaging UV-rays

Wondering when things are finally gonna shake my way

You roll around me gently, gently, gently cracking

Showing me what you need instead of just asking

The sidewalk's so hot if you come out you'll fry

But if you stay in your shell your heart is gonna die

Now the razorblade I hide underneath my tongue

Is there to cut the lie before it's all I become

I guess I'm still looking for my chance to run

Always at the starting gate waiting for the gun
