The Longest Festering Around

You know these lyrics, you know this song

You wrote these lyrics with your tears and blood

So many tries to forget but it yells for more

It won't let you fall asleep and this guilt won't go

It weights your heart and consumes your soul

You won't close your eyes it won't let you go

We've got all those roles we've lost control

It's like a never ever ending waiting for love

It's like a never ever ending waiting for calm

This world is so much bigger than eyes of anyone of us could ever see

But whenever you look around there must be someone who would make you believe

That even if tears don't taste the same for everyone of us

It's solely the fact if we agree to see them that makes us different

And what it means to see what's in our hearts

What flows in our blood what never leaves our minds

If you can't pretend even for a second

That is why your eyes still bleed

Some things have to be reinvented

Love has to be reinvented

Hope has to be reinvented

Happiness has to be reinvented

And all those things that once mattered

And now just faded with time

That is why your heart still bleeds

We've got to lay this burden down

We've been living in this shadow for much too long now

It's not that we are blind

It's not that we are numbed

And that's why all the wounds have to be healed now
