Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Where in the world's the forgotten?

They're lost inside your memory

You're draggin' on, your heart's been broken

As we all go down in history

[Verse 2]

Where in the world did the time go?

It's where your spirit seems to roam

Like losin' faith to our abandon

Or an empty hallway from a broken home

[Verse 3]

Well, don't look away from the arms of a bad dream

Well, don't look away, sometimes you're better lost than to be seen

[Verse 4]

I don't feel strange, it's more like haunted

Another moment trapped in time

I can't quite put my finger on it

But it's like a child that was left behind

[Verse 5]

So, where in the world's the forgotten?

Like soldiers from a long lost war

We share the scars form our abandon

And what we remember becomes folklore

[Verse 6]

Well, don't look away from the arms of a bad dream

Don't look away, sometimes you're better lost than to be seen

[Verse 7]

Well, don't look away from the arms of a moment

Don't look away from the arms of tomorrow

Well, don't look away from the arms of a moment, don't look away

From the arms of love

[Verse 8]

Well, don't look away from the arms of a bad dream

Don't look away, sometimes you're better lost than to be seen

Don't look away from the arms of a moment

Well, don't look away from the arms of tomorrow

Well, don't look away from the arms of a moment, don't look away

From the arms of love
