Anywhere But Here

Your name The union of mere letters That shouldn't really matter to me now Your face Once altered my perspective Now distant and deceptive, yet somehow A memory my heart will not allow Your voice Though even died down to a whisper Still could be sending shivers down my spine Your touch Once cut through my defences Then robbed me of my senses and my mind Now take a look at the mess you left behind My dreams were neatly banned To where they've lost all meaning Where days have no beginning And nights don't seem to end To shelter from the rain Still I'm drowning in compliance By some conspiracy of silence In this shattered house of pain From here Life seems a foolish display Of world in shades of grey My dreams have all been banned To where they've lost all meaning Where days have no beginning And nights don't seem to end To shelter from the rain Still I'm drowning in compliance By some conspiracy of silence In this shattered house of pain And from here Life seems an armour of steel With nothing left to feel And still Your image is so vivid and clear Anywhere but here
