All That's Left Behind Lyrics

Soft shades of lilac and blue

Painted dreamscapes rushing to the west

Closing time at workday's end

Making the best of what is left

Paths we have taken at the crossroads

Choices we have made in our mind

Cherishing in cuts and broken bones

Anything to feel barely alive

Open our future let the light shine in

Ignoring good advice and screams in our ears

Dampen the agony and bruise our skin

Knowing no one can hear

Yet another bruise on my soul

More splinters that refuse to come out

Tormented by the fear

That I will have to watch you disappear

Meeting the blow with adrenaline rush

Cream colored patches soak up the blood

Mute our thinking to a distant hush

Longing for a softening thud

Yet another bruise on my soul

More splinters that refuse to come out

Barely visible to others in my world

But makes my entire insides shout

Was it really a mistake to let myself care?

Staring at an empty sky

Pushing the scent of you from my hands

Knowing no one is near any longer who can hear
