Lyrics for Felo de Se

I left thinking that I would be back But I never did return If you would forgive me I'd forgive myself But forgiveness never has these terms The sky was as dark as the thoughts I was thinking It was ignored by the moon If you would believe me I'd believe myself But believing never comes this soon The streets made a sound only my ears could hear I was alone with the rats and raccoons And your memory keeping me alive As the clouds moved away from the moon Then silence it hit me is a way to speak clearly A way to never say what you don't mean But silence is useless in cases of torture It just says God won't intervene And this night like others is a sign for the way That the gray air speaks for the dead The air is as vague as the thoughts I have now That these memories are just in your head So I kept walking through the clouds that were lifting To reveal what I'd thought There was more fog behind the mist that seemed was the only Thing keeping me from what I sought I turned around to walk back to the place I had left thinking I would find Answers to the questions that I shouldn't ask But the questions can't find a way to leave me behind
