Strange Land

God laid waste
To this forsaken place
Forgotten, disgraced
Lovers lose and win
On the battlegrounds we sin
Face to face
A different time and space
I cut to the chase
Another chance is slim
Only I will not give in
What my words failed to say
Was ''I wanted to stay.
Let me in your arms again.
Take this changed man''
But you don’t feel the same
So my heart takes the blame (living without you)
And my broken dreams remain
In this strange land far away
The rain is like knives
Falling from the skies
Spawning enzymes
Passing through my skin
To the tired heart within
Shapes and sights
Raw and infinite
Soothe me inside
Battered, bruised of limb,
As the fight for life begins
What my words failed to say
Was ''I wanted to stay.
Let me in your arms again.
Take this changed man''
But you don’t feel the same
So my heart takes the blame (living without you)
And my broken dreams remain
In this strange land far away
