Anywhere But Here - Red Skies (Part III) Lyrics

When these days are over
When all hope has come too late
When the trial is made
I'll just close my eyes
And I'll pretend I did my best
Red skies at sunset
Bending flowers on a grave
When they turn to ask
I will run and hide
Just like you I will escape

And I hope that the stones I throw at your house at night will break the windows
So that, instead of hating you, I can hate myself
And as I climb the walls I can't wait for the morbid voice of rejection
Is it really you or is it this sickness, that's speaking through you?

Don't you - feel the same
Don't you see how you dragged me right into it
Which of us is the sick one after all?
I'm asking you
I will never break this silence for you
I ran out of lies so I keep my mouth shut
Which of us is so happy after all?
I'm asking you

Don't you feel impressed how
I don't even seem to care
Would you please tell me
How aroused you are
Why don't you come creeping back?

Now I won't let you know
I'm half as strong as I pretend
Keep ignoring me
If you feel like it
Buy these lies - I'll stay away

Maimed angel on the floor
Cut-off wings
Bleeding, screaming
I swear I saw you there
I swear I saw you falling
Empty smile, empty days
Rotten claws
Hiding, haunting
I swear I saw you there
From afar I watched you falling

Don't you - feel the same
Don't you see how you dragged me right into it
Which of us is the sick one after all?
I'm asking you
I will never break this silence for you
I ran out of lies so I keep my mouth shut
Which of us is so happy after all?
I'm asking you

When these days are over and
All the traces will be gone
You'll be the only one
That can understand
The true meaning of this song
