close your eyes and tell me what you find

don't you here the voices in your mind

where have all your lovers gone, the friends you thought you counted on

passed away like shadows lost with time



i gave you all your life to make a choice

from time to time i know you heard my voice

it wasn't just for information, i desired your conversation

all you did was drown me out with noise



when i said go you wouldn't go

i gave my hand but every time you never want to know



and so you turned away, the seasons reached their end

it took you all your days to keep me from your head

the night grew dark your eyes grew black

and soon there'll be no turning back again



are you swimming through a myriad

of spiritual decisions

are they whispering sweet nothing while they

drown you with derision

out of sight but in your mind

they're calling out they're pulling you away

deep inside you know what's right

but slowly you're believing what they say



if they said go would you go



are you orbiting the rainbow do you live to be in trances

are you lost in paranoia did you take too many chances

parasites and soul-destroyers ready for your life to drift away

deep inside they steal your mind and slowly you're repeating what they say



if they said go would you go



when every country's gone to war every dream has hit the floor

when every gene has split in two and every breath has poisoned you

only then you'll understand none of this is what i planned

but giving you the right to choose meant some of you would have to lose



when every lake is parched and dry when all pollution kills the sky

when every soul has gone it's way and every heart is old and grey

maybe then you'll understand somewhere on your wounded land

you heard my voice but chose to turn away
