Anathema: Echoes of silent cries...

As I drift away...

far away from you,

I feel all alone

in a crowded room,

Thinking to myself

"There's no escape from this

fear,

regret,

loneliness..."

Visions of love and hate,

A collage behind my eyes

Remnants of dying laughter

Echoes of silent cries

I wish I didn't know now

that I never knew then...

Flashback

Memories

punish me again

Sometimes I remember

all the pain that I have seen

Sometimes I wonder

what might have been...

Visions of love and hate

A collage behind my eyes

Remnants of dying laughter

Echoes of silent cries

And sometimes I despair

At who I've become

I have to come to terms

With what I've done

The bittersweet taste of fate

We can't outrun the past

Destined to find an answer

A strength I never lost

I know there is a way

My future is not set

For the tide has turned

But still I never learned

to live

without

regret
