Solitude Surrounding Lyrics

Silence now,
I'm so close yet so far from my dream.
It's locked in shadows,
as waves pound the shore and it seems...
Silence now, in suburbia.
The night calls my senses to see.
I'm locked in the shadows, invisible now.
East side of town and it seems...
another day gone by,
another night to withstand.
With solitude surounding,
you can't grasp it with closed hands.
But when you open that door
for an open heart,
my mind may have changed,
but I can't follow you now.

Why can't you let yourself just open up,
even to yourself?
All the games you played never added up
to what you said,
"Mirror my eyes and blacken my skies."
Won't you ever explain this?
I'm open to you, you shall return,
and someday you will learn,
sometime it will seem...
another day gone by,
another night to withstand.
With solitude surrounding,
you'll grasp it with closed hands.

Your smile is so inviting,
yet only slightly so convincing.
Creating my own fairy tale world,
then calling a halt when it becomes real.
To real for us to feel.
To know yourself means knowing me.
To be yourself means facing things
that you never thought to be.
And you'll stand at the door,
Hoping to find
the open mind
that your heart left behind.

So do you, do you feel the same?
You let me in, then so slammed the door.
And could you please explain
why you let me in then said goodbye.
Oh why?

Life, it has a way
of giving, when you least expect the pain.
And takes away, when these walls seem so certain,
my angel of tears, she gets lost in the rain.

So do you feel the same?
You let me in, then slammed the door.
And could you please explain
why you let me in, then said goodbye.
