It can't be true when all those years just fade away And now it's just another town without a name Echoes filter out through all the cracks beneath the walls All the memories I have are not the same
Should I ever have come back When no-one seems to recognise Another face that doesn't lead their mind astray Couldn't be forgiven for the sins that I once made And now my heart is lying many miles away
(chorus) But it's so peaceful and still So hoplessly fading into winter The mist in my eyes could never have disguised What is real or what to feel You're wired in the dark and broken from the start By what you know Waiting in this town for the world to spin around When you find what's left behind
I don't believe I'll ever feel another part of here The memories have changed inside my mind Another life to lead, but all those months don't fade away On the boundary of your office in the sky
Where there's faces I can't reach And eyes that I can't teach The emptiness of space locked in their hearts Staring at their screens at night From a 16-hour day Working for the poison in your heart
