Back To You

(album: ILLENIUM - 2023)

Had a bad dream on the operating table
I tried to scream, but I wasn't able
They replaced my veins with cables
Now I'll never be the same again

I can't recharge your spirit
I can see a light, but I can't get near it
Echoes of your voice, but I can't quite hear it
How did we end up here?

I spent a lifetime lost
A generation letting go
Another day that I can't break through
It's a long way back to you
Another two years gone
I spent forever letting go
And I don't wanna face the truth
It's a long way back to you

Now the days slowly fade into sleepless nights
Lie awake, empty spaces and wasted time
Push and pull, give and take, couldn't make you mine, no

And I just wanna recharge your spirit
I can see a light, but I can't get near it
Echoes of your voice, but I can't quite hear it
How did we end up here?

I spent a lifetime lost
A generation letting go
Another day that I can't break through
It's a long way back to you
Another two years gone
I spent forever letting go
And I don't wanna face the truth
It's a long way back to you

If everything heals with time
Then why is our flame dying?
If you don't want to get this right
Then why are we still trying?
If everything heals with time
Then why is our flame dying?
If you don't want to get this right
Then why are we still tryin'?

If everything heals with time
Then why is our flame dyin'? (Why is our flame dyin'?)
If you don't want to get it right
Then why are we still tryin'? (Why are we still tryin'?)
If everything heals with time (I spent a lifetime lost)
Then why is our flame dyin'? (A generation of letting go)
If you don't want to get it right (And now the daylight can't break through)
Then why are we still tryin'? (It's a long way back to you)

If everything heals with time (Another two years gone)
Then why is our flame dyin'? (I spent forever letting go)
If you don't want to get it right (And I don't wanna face the truth)
Then why are we still tryin'? (It's a long way back to you)
