James Murphy - Touching the Earth lyrics

rate me

This life, and all the things I'd known

Turned away, and left behind

The truth was buried long ago

Memories fade in passing time

For years, I felt my solitude

Never seemed to leave my side

My way was lost forever then

All my dreams were cast aside

I turn away but the vision of truth stains my eyes

I try to run but the image cuts through my disguise

Beneath the emptiness, reveals my bitterness

I cannot soon forget, this dream's not over yet

In the land of my birth, I am still touching the earth

The fears that kept me far away

Slowly die and draw me near

The past I sought to bury deep

Comes again to fill my need

I cast away all the stones that carried me down

I will return to the life that my past tried to drown

Beneath the emptiness, reveals my bitterness

I cannot soon forget, this dream's not over yet

In the land of my birth, I am still touching the earth
