Forbidden Cries

Running your kingdom down
Telling rumours about this town
I don’t want to fight your views
But how can I make you tell the truth

You would never show your fears
You would never cry these tears
That dam up behind your eyes – forbidden cries

Isn’t it just that you’re sleeping
Isn’t it just that I’m here
Your eyes never saw the movement
I’ll wait another year

A vicious circle of lies and pain
You never felt your loving flame
Hanging above the canyons of hope
In your hand a frozen rope

You’d never let your secrets appear
Wondering if I would steer
But I could never take your eyes’ forbidden cries

Isn’t it just that you’re sleeping
(Sleeping)
Isn’t it just that I’m here
(I am here)
Your eyes never saw the movement
I’ll wait another year

Isn’t it just that I’m feeling
(Feeling)
The way you disappear
(Disappear)
My eyes never saw your face again
Though I still know you are near

You would never listen to me
Wondering what life could be
I cannot free your dying life’s forbidden cries

Isn’t it just that you’re sleeping
(Sleeping)
Isn’t it just that I’m here
(I am here)
Your eyes never saw the movement
I’ll wait another year

Isn’t it just that I’m feeling
(Feeling)
The way you disappear
(Disappear)
My eyes never saw your face again
Though I still know you are near
