Return to Me

A voice cold and held dead inside
 Hope waiting with silent cries
 Waves rolling in overhead
 Ocean calling me out of my bed
 Life stolen and ripped away
 Heart broken by absent swain
 I can't wear this disguise
 I'm losing my mind
 And falling into myself
 This pain can never end
 You decided then
 To test my soul again
 This ghost I see
 Please play for me
 Laconic melodies
 Sweet songs
 Reminding
 Of hope lost at sea
 Now I'm looking with open eyes
 For the truth in what I see
 You're feeding me lies
 The face you hide behind
 Only living in memory
 Will never return to me
 Return to me
 Tell me of that song you play
 It takes me home to simpler days
 Soothing this pain inside
 A mother's grief for her stolen child
 What's happened to my love
 Where have all the pieces of me gone
 I know that you know
 Don't spare my feelings now
 Relate to me just how
 This nightmare has to end
 Calling me down to stay
 This newfound despair
 They'll never hear my voice
 I'll never hold them near
 Now I'm looking with open eyes
 For the truth in what I see
 You're feeding me lies
 The face you hide behind
 Only living in memory
 Will never return to me
 Return to me
 With every rising tide
 Sick fortune plays its game
 Speechless and cold I'll wait
 Delusion in my gaze
 With one last song, I'll sing your fate
 The ferry man awaits
 As your soul is swept away
 An empty shell I'll stay
 Now I'm looking with open eyes
 For the truth in what I see
 You're feeding me lies
 The face you hide behind
 Only living in memory
 Will never return to me
