Voice Of A Friend (Limited Edition Bonus Track)

(album: Approaching Normal - 2009)

Light the fire in this castle
Watch it burn into a glow
By the river fear of quite sincere
There's a draw bridge life support.
There's a plank we'll have to crawl upon
But dare not look below
Where the water scene is crystal clean
Where the clouds are raining snow

Hush hush baby
there's a lot of other ways to choke
We're in the freak show now
and we're dealing with a mind of its own
when too many worlds collide
I'd like to think it would be good if we talked
I ask you to not leave my side
I can't, man,
This is quicksand alone

So I ask you thru the voice of a friend
Why don't you stay with me

We're a submarine submerging
Simply smiling at the earth
We're sending roses to the loved ones
Who had a hand in our rebirth
But still another day I'll cling to you
For faint directions home
Where we all will sit with open arms
To block the rocks we've thrown

Hush hush baby
There's a lot of other ways to choke
We're in the freak show now
And we're dealing with a mind of its own
When too many worlds collide
I'd like to think it would be good if we talk
I ask you to not leave my side
I can't, man,
This is quicksand alone

So I ask you thru the voice of a friend
"Why don't you stay with me?"
I ask you thru the voice of a friend
"Why don't you stay with me?
Stay with me."
