The Valley

(album: The Great Escape - 2006)

I'm in the open now, there's nothing but my mind spinning round and round
It's throwing me into madness of loudness, till I can't hear you at all
And not too far away I know I'll face mountains and valleys of doubt
Breaks me down every time
For now be still, there are no sounds

Break me, so I'm no longer
Build me, so I am stronger
Please still me
Please fill me
Will we always be

Will we always be

Now the time has come, I'm overdone, this time I must know
As sure as I can know
And listening to the rumbling of walls as they come tumbling down
Down, down
I may not dare to show you
I might just walk away or crawl under another rock
It's so tempting, as you're attempting, to reel me in again

Break me, so I'm no longer
Build me, so I am stronger
Please still me
Please fill me
Will we always be?

Here I am with the desert sand in my Dead Sea eyes
And I can cry all I want and I can die all I want
I'll even lie if that's what you want me to do
There's no one else to rescue me but you
I'm a lost refugee, old flying gypsy dancer
I got to save myself for me
But I'm gonna save myself for you
I always do

Break me, so I'm no longer
Build me, so I am stronger
Please still me
Please fill me
Will we always be?
