Miles Away

Your whole life you were taken
 And never gave
 But what there was sold
 All your fears and your visions
 For all you could hold
 There was someone to say
 Black is White, Night is Day
 And Everything's Clear
 Just keep going
 And don't look too far
 For the Burning is near
 How far have we come today
 I'm here but you're miles away
 So you move to the city
 Grayer skies
 Never to return
 Turn your back on your bridges
 And watch them all burn
 And you run from the pain
 But the truth's what remains
 Strip it all bare
 We're all living to breathe
 In this wide open sea
 How far have we come today
 I'm here but you're miles away
 I know that you think you can see
 From high on your hill
 But you're miles away from me
 Open-arms in this world of belief
 Can you please tell me where
 There is some kind of peace?
 I want nothing more than to
 Feel something real
 Can you hear them
 Screaming run?
 How far have we come today?
 I'm here but you're miles away
 How far have we come today
 I'm here but you're miles away
 I know that you think you can see
 From high on your hill
 But you're miles away
