Take Flight Songtext
von Southtowne Lanes

Another scream pulled me out of sleep.
Down the hall? Or was it in my dreams?
Or maybe it′s nothing more–
Waking up always feels worse than it did the day before.
Like a dream thrown down a well.
Liquid fear I cannot expel.
Only drink, only think of a way I can get back to sleep.

I take the long way home to keep you out of my head.
I'm stuck with you like the fly tangled up in the web.
Nothing stays like the hurt of a loved one′s haunt,
And nothing leaves like you left when the love was gone.


No reprieve when the words get said.
No remorse for the life we shed.
Just counting lines twenty times so
My words will be what they preach.

Or what they hide.

I take the long way home to keep you out of my head.
I'm stuck with you like the fly tangled up in the web.
Nothing stays like the hurt of a loved one's haunt,
And nothing leaves like you left when the love was gone.

When the love was gone, you flew away.

And in the time past, I can now see what I did to me.
And what I did to you, what I did to everyone I ever knew.
True pain doesn′t leave. True hurt always stays.
So you live with it, care for it, love it,
Or pain will up and carry you away.
