lyrics

Can't shake this feeling I need to leave again
Her fingers grip, she is clinging to my sleeve and then..
I am nearly brought down to my knees
All sense of reason is just out of reach.
I am beginning to feel a little uneasy
I have had more then my fill and this guilt don't please me
I am lying through my teeth but you all believe me.
In the back of my mind I am wondering
If he see's me.
Trying to drown it out like a coward in the evenings.

Let go of me now
Go back to the hollow shade
Behind your grandfathers house
Where the high branch swayed
Breathing in and out with the wisdom of days past.

Squeeze it out
Through the dark
All my shame

Furious and loud
I can't place the name

So excitable but naive all the same
So excitable, believing in vain.

I've got cuts on my hands from the hunger that I chase
With physical demands and numbers that I gauge.
And I don't expect you to understand these things
But I am leaving now
and I won't be coming back again
I'm leaving now
I won't be seeing you again
I'm leaving now
and you won't be seeing me again

All of my life I have been running out of time
But I won't chase it down anymore
It will never be mine
And that's just fine.
