Loneliness

Loneliness

Is a place that I know well

It's the distance between us

And the space inside ourselves

Emptiness

Is the chattering in your head

It's the call of the living

And the race from life to death

And I know

Yeah, I know, what you feel

And I've got a longing that's hard to find

Won't give me no peace of mind

Something that I've lived with all along

Days and weeks and months and years

Filling in the time, my dear

Tryin' to find the place where I belong

Hopelessness

Is the darkness of your heart

It's the sound of one hand clapping

While it's pulling you apart

And I know

Yeah, I know

What you feel

And I've got a longing that's hard to find

Won't give me no peace of mind

Something that I've lived with all along

Days and weeks and months and years

Filling in the time, my dear

Trying to find the place where I belong

And I've got a hunger that's hard to fill

Drivin' me on overkill

Tellin' me that everything's gone wrong

Got me a need that I can't break

More than I can hardly take

Somehow I keep on going strong

When I call your name, I'm gonna scream out loud

I'll say "Here I am standing in the crowd."

You'll say, "Come to me, with your open mind

You never know, what you still might find."

But you keep me here like a cancelled flight

An empty train, runnin' through the night

An ophan child, a broken shoe

And I'm still down here

Lookin' out for you

Are you there for me?

'Cause I'm here for you
