close your eyes and tell me what you find
don't you here the voices in your mind
where have all your lovers gone, the
friends you thought you counted on
passed away like shadows lost with time
i gave you all your life to make a choice
from
time to time i know you heard my voice
it wasn't just for information, i desired your conversation
all you did was drown me out with
noise
when i said go you wouldn't go
i gave my hand but every time you never want to know
and so you turned away, the
seasons reached their end
it took you all your days to keep me from your head
the night grew dark your eyes grew black
and soon
there'll be no turning back again
are you swimming through a myriad
of spiritual decisions
are they whispering sweet nothing
while they
drown you with derision
out of sight but in your mind
they're calling out they're pulling you away
deep inside you
know what's right
but slowly you're believing what they say
if they said go would you go
are you orbiting the rainbow do
you live to be in trances
are you lost in paranoia did you take too many chances
parasites and soul-destroyers ready for your life
to drift away
deep inside they steal your mind and slowly you're repeating what they say
if they said go would you
go
when every country's gone to war every dream has hit the floor
when every gene has split in two and every breath has poisoned
you
only then you'll understand none of this is what i planned
but giving you the right to choose meant some of you would have to
lose
when every lake is parched and dry when all pollution kills the sky
when every soul has gone it's way and every heart is
old and grey
maybe then you'll understand somewhere on your wounded land
you heard my voice but chose to turn away
