Whispers in hallways, in crowded streets The voices always, in sympathy You've walked a long way from sudden grief Enduring long days that never cease Savage days caress my dreams away Will only time release me? Savage days suppress my inner pain For all those lying beneath me I won't see them again The sprawling walkways of sanctity A weary warning of instability With every heartbeat and lifeless need Defeat prolonging, you can't release, you cannot breathe Always the same mistakes, with years to face Only the flame forsakes and feeds the shame Savage days caress my tears away But you can't defeat me Savage days suppress my inner rage For all those lying beneath me I won't see them again
