Songtexte Vision and the Voice - Sub Rosa

Close your eyes, but don't you sleep
Hear these words I have to speak
I won't pretend you're safe in here
'Cause there's a lot you have to fear

Keep your silence, don't ask me why
And I'll bring the truth you can't deny
But if a hint of doubt starts to show
Your ego tries to make me go

But I shall be here
(In the dead of the night, when the world's asleep)
And I will always be here
(I'll give you the reason when no one else agrees)

I know sometimes it's hard to believe
But there's a meaning for the life you live
Forget old scrolls and secret crests
You just should look inside (around) yourself

And you'll find it here
(At the end of the rainbow, in the gates of the keep)
And I will always be here
(Some will call it a curse; others will praise the bliss)

You've heard the Voice; all she said is true
You've seen the Vision that's in front of you
From the time you wake to the sleeping hour
You're just another faceless in the crowd
Each minute past, another chance is gone
A blinking eye and all your life is done

But I (and I) shall be here
(No one else is around; all you have left is me)
And I will always be here
(I'm the wake of your smile; I'm the comfortable tear)
For you

Please, would you just leave me alone?
I'm tired of it all, I'm done!
I'm not asking for your answers
I don't need a secret meaning for life
I have no time to waste again
And I don't even agree I'm the one to blame
There're other seeds I'd love to sow for me
So, leave me be
There's life in here enough for me

We know it's hard to leave your world behind
To face a new one with the eyes of a child
There's even a comfort in the prison you live
But deep inside, you know you have to leave

And I shall be here
(We'll make sure you'll regret if you're not up to leave)
And I will always be here
(Are you ready to give up? Will you choose not to live?)
