Piano-driven, jazzy. A song about something forbidden. From the album "If This Is All That We Will Have". more

Centerpiece of album "When Brighter Days Come". Transforms with a blistering electric violin solo in its back half. Big ending on this one. LYRICS: When brighter days come Will I know the light of love again? Will I know when to run, Will I ever know the wild abandon? When brighter days come Will there be peace again in my heart? Will I know when to fold Go ahead and give up the ghost Know when it's all long done? Live with the fear Of the same old games The same old, same old, Same old everything Live with the fear Of the howling storm The martyr cruciform The same old, same old everything When brighter days come, Will I know the light of love again? Will I know when it's there Will I lose it all to my fears? When brighter days come, Will there peace again inside my heart? That's only ever known Winter ever and anon No sunlight reaches me there Live with the fear Of the same old game The same old blame The same old, same old everything Live with the fear Of the howling storm The martyr in cruciform The same old, same old everything Did you try to Break through these walls surrounding me The barrier, the aegis I've put up around me Did you try to Break through these fortress walls Did I hold your heart in my hands Did I let it slip through? Did I try everything? Or did I stand there and watch As the roof caved in? The same old blame The same old shame The same old, same old everything How do I, how do I, how do I go on? I don't know anymore But I'd die for the dream The dreams we shared The love that we knew Only us two Only us two So where does love go? And where does it all bleed out? When does it all stop hurting so much? Does it ever really stop?more

Inspired by the 1998 anime Serial Experiments Lain - a sort of oppressive, terrifying feel that permeates throughout. more
