The Long Night That Lies Ahead




And once again you've found me
In the only way that you can
You've swallowed all my thoughts
And now you're drowning all my senses
And you gradually surround me
As I dance beside McGahan
In this pyrotechnic paradise
You're perfectly relentless

You're simply irresistible
And I answer every one of your calls
It's momentary madness, but I'm aware of this
And I'm a man on a mission
You grab my hair without a care
And we thrust against a wall, and another wall
And with animal exuberance
We release all inhibitions

And it's the long night that lies ahead
An hour's gone, and now it's started
It's far too long since you departed
It's the long night that lies ahead
And you've left me broken and empty
And so depressed

Instinctively inseparable
I'm enthralled within you, and your existence
You lead me down to a darkened room
And we kiss
Increasingly irreparable
I'm in awe even though you're destroying me
For as long as I can remember
I've never felt like this

And it's the long night that lies ahead
An hour's gone, and now it's started
It's far too long since you departed
It's the long night that lies ahead
And you've left me broken and empty
And so depressed

And the room is cold and far too bright
And I'm slowly drifting through the night
Constantly awaken by the aching in my chest
I stare up at the empty ceiling, body starts to drain of feeling
But somehow that's much better than it was before
I wish my mind would do the same
Instead it's screaming out her name:
I simply can't forget her, the woman I adore
And there's not much more of this that I can take
I'm far too scared to simply stay awake
And I'm deafened by the sound of nothing whatsoever
Feeling null, and void, and petrified, and paranoid
For as long as I can remember
I've never felt like this
And I never want to feel like this again

And it's the long night that lies ahead
An hour's gone, and now it's started
It's far too long since you departed
It's the long night that lies ahead
And you've left me broken and empty
And so depressed
