Searchlights

Oh how this silence has enclosed us
And held our breath at bay
Kept our hands tied
And locked the truth away

So many times I have tried
To open up your eyes
Flood them with light
And take you away
But now....it’s too late....

B: Run fast or they’ll catch you
Don’t stop till I find you
And if the searchlights pass your by
Know that I’ve been lost along the way...

C: It’s give and it’s take
Laugh till you break
Cry till you smile
And die for a little while
Don’t be afraid of living without
Just be afraid of never living at all.

Oh how these memories have captured us
Taken us away
Stolen our breath
And moved us on to a better place

So many times I have lied
To make you look at me
Want to be all you see
Take you away
But now....it’s too late.....

Bridge

Chorus

The searchlights finally found me
Locked me away
Just know that I am in a better place
And I hope that you escaped.
