lyrics

FAR AWAY (feat. Whitney Pearsall)
(music: Thom Kunz / lyrics: Thom Kunz & O.E. Cunningham)

Dead and hollow
With no more dreams to follow.
Lay our hands into the sea.

When every smile,
Ever given or received
Wave tired flags of sweet retreat.

Broken walls and shattered glass,
The ripples of your fractured past,
Damages outweigh the lies,
And drift away against the tide;
They struggle for a place to stand,
A ticket to the Promised Land.
It took so long to understand.
Waiting to be free…

As long as you are far away from me.

Before you’re out the door,
I’m asking for more.
This is the last time.
I swear, the last time.
I swear, the last time.
You can’t hurt me anymore.
My face against the floor.

You’re spreading fires,
Blindfolded and afraid,
Burning all we’ve ever made.

So tear it out and slam your fists.
I’ll be the one who takes the hits.
To you, it’s all just black and white,
And burns beneath the grayest light.

So when you go, you go alone
To find a new direction home.
Now I’m staring down this open road
As far as I can see…

As long as you are far away from me.

Waters rise.
Bloodshot eyes.
Through sleepless nights
And our pointless fights.

The warning light is burning bright.
