"Miles Away" lyrics

Your whole life you were taken
And never gave
But what there was sold
All your fears and your visions
For all you could hold

There was someone to say
Black is white, night is day
And everything's clear
Just keep going
And don't look too far
For the burning is near

How far have we come today
I'm here but you're miles away

So you move to the city
Grayer skies
Never to return
Turn your back on your bridges
And watch them all burn

And you run from the pain
But the truth's what remains
Strip it all bare
We're all living to breathe
In this wide open sea

How far have we come today
I'm here but you're miles away
I know that you think you can see
From high on your hill
But you're miles away from me

Open-arms in this world of belief
Can you please tell me where
There is some kind of peace?
I want nothing more than to
Feel something real
Can you hear them
Screaming run?

How far have we come today?
I'm here but you're miles away
How far have we come today
I'm here but you're miles away
I know that you think you can see
From high on your hill
But you're miles away
