"Longing" lyrics

"Longing"

I'm longing to be heard
I'm longing to be touched again
Are there something else than words
To wake my senses
Who are we when the lights' go out?
Where do you go when life's a lie?
How do you hide your scars and flaws
Find your way when you are lost
How do you know what you're feeling?

Close your eyes and start to believe in
In the world that's always deceiving
How do you find strength enough for believing?
Can you deny the nights when you were drifting?

I close my eyes, I start to believe in
The words you say, I'm beginning to feel them
How do you find strength enough to believe in
Enough to heed the calls and the screaming?
The calls and the screaming
I'm longing to be heard
As I whisper to the stars alone
Is there healing after pain
That could mend my silent hopes?
Who are we when the lights' go out?
Where do you go when life's a lie?
How do you hide your scars and flaws
Find your way when you are lost, how do you
Know what you're feeling?
Where do our dreams go when they rust
And all that's left is in this dust?
How do we find our way again
Fight until we're at the end
How do we trust what we're becoming?

Close your eyes, it's hard to believe in
In a world that's always deceiving
How do you find strength enough for believing
Can you deny the nights when you were drifting

I close my eyes and start to believe in
The words you say, I'm beginning to feel them
How do you find strength enough to believe in?
How do you heed the calls and the screaming?

Close your eyes and see the inside turn to freedom
Close your eyes
Just close your eyes

I close my eyes and start to believe in
The words you say I'm beginning to feel them
I close my to heal, I close my eyes to feel
I close my eyes
