"U Don't Know Me" lyrics

Another alibi
One more promise that I can't keep
And who the hell am I
To lie here awake when the world's asleep
But I'm not gonna let one more moon pass by
Where they're telling me what to do
And I don't ask why
They say that I'm doomed to repeat my past life
But I'm tellin you that I'm not gonna lose
Like the last time

You don't know me
You don't know me, no, I'll pull through
I'll keep on going
You don't know me or what I can do

No I don't want to die
No my soul won't survive her grief
And if I saw him cry
I'd refuse to let my spirit leave
So I'm not gonna let one more moon pass by
Where I'm feeling the way I do
And I don't ask why
I thought I was doomed to fall to the fast life
Now every second I'm gonna choose you
If I still have time

You don't know me
You don't know me, no, I'll pull through
I'll keep on going
Yeah
You don't know me or what I can do

You don't know me, no
You don't know me, no, I'll pull through
I'll keep on going
Yeah
You don't know me or what I can do

Rust harries the gears of the mighty clock tower
The sentry stands silent, watching and listening
Time lies in ashes, blowing and burning
Angels are kneeling with blood on their knees

Rot aches to reign in the mighty oak forest
But grace can be found where the wind is still whispering
Signs are all branches, twisted and turning
The great river follows and swallows the leaves

Where can we turn when the stars are all hiding
Where can we turn when the storm takes the sun
Are we allowed to come bathe in the twilight
Hope and faith boundless, for we've just begun

Songs rule the meadow at the edge of the city
There's dew on the grass when our eyes meet the morning
Shadows are fading where greatness is forming
And nothing dare boil or spoil the seas

Where can we turn when the stars are all hiding
Where can we turn when the storm takes the sun
Are we allowed to come bathe in the twilight
All lies in faith now, for we've just begun
