lyrics
Everywhere that I look,
I see your face,
There and there again,
Haunting every dream,
Haunting every vision,
You're always on my mind,
Paralyzing my heart,
Stealing away my soul,
This vision I’ve lost control.
Oh how that I love you,
Oh how I know I shouldn't,
But I am bound here,
Oh, I am bound here to you
In this absolution.
Fear is what keeps me blinded,
Closed away from true embrace,
Fear of all that I will loose,
Fear of all that I risk to gain.
Every step that I take you are there,
Every thought I think you appear,
I am never safe from the ghost of you,
I am never safe from the haunting memories,
The memories of what could have been,
The memories of what should never have been,
Oh oh oh ohhhhhhh!!! The memories.
I always leave my life behind,
In my pursuit of you,
I always loose everything,
In this endless game of cat and mouse,
Never will I be the same,
After that one fateful night,
Where everything,
Where everything I change.
I know I can't love you,
I’ll never know your touch
But you are trapped in my mind,
And I am withering in your embrace,
Trapped in this palace of decay.
Fear is what keeps me blinded,
Closed away from your embrace,
Fear of all that I will loose,
Fear of all that I will gain.
