The Longest Festering Around

Faust Again

You know these lyrics, you know this song
 You wrote these lyrics with your tears and blood
 So many tries to forget but it yells for more
 It won't let you fall asleep and this guilt won't go

 It weights your heart and consumes your soul

 You won't close your eyes it won't let you go
 We've got all those roles we've lost control

 It's like a never ever ending waiting for love
 It's like a never ever ending waiting for calm

 This world is so much bigger than eyes of anyone of us could ever see
 But whenever you look around there must be someone who would make you believe
 That even if tears don't taste the same for everyone of us
 It's solely the fact if we agree to see them that makes us different
 And what it means to see what's in our hearts
 What flows in our blood what never leaves our minds
 If you can't pretend even for a second
 That is why your eyes still bleed

 Some things have to be reinvented
 Love has to be reinvented
 Hope has to be reinvented
 Happiness has to be reinvented
 And all those things that once mattered
 And now just faded with time
 That is why your heart still bleeds

 We've got to lay this burden down
 We've been living in this shadow for much too long now
 It's not that we are blind
 It's not that we are numbed
 And that's why all the wounds have to be healed now
