Album: Manikin Parade

I see the sun when I look into your eyes and I see the world in your heart
Help me find an answer to what gives us soul - take my hand, I'll carry you away

You see the nightmare walking up to your front door It penetrates, contemplates, dissipates and still it feeds, oh God it feeds
You're the thorn in his sunny day - powerless, bitterness, helplessness - your life is on the line this time

[Chorus:]

So cold and so lonely, yet still so loyal towards him
He's leaving, you're bleeding, Oh God, you're bleeding

When will love finally wash us all away, and when will hate make loving okay?
Should we spend our lives finding answers, or should we just let them find us first?

Exit from the shadows that keep you trapped within,
Let the loving sunlight wash your pain away
Think of me when you are down; let your heart just sail away-
Deep into the mystery of life

Silence is bitter, when voices seem faded and gray
Some people can't fathom why hearts shrink and dwindle away

I can see the sun rise, deep inside your eyes
Life can be so cruel, Gabrielle
Ah

[Carnival Nightmare:]

Step right up folks and take a swing, she won't hit back!

Oh my God, she's so helpless, leave her be

Take out all your frustrations on this poor, innocent soul

It's like my own personal punching bag!

Don't hesitate folks, she's just asking for it!

Yeah, it's her own fault!

Sunshine seems fleeting when no one's around to hold, to love
And comfort is missing when those we love are all gone and we're left cold, afraid and alone

I can see the sun, deep inside your eyes
Life can be so cruel, Gabrielle

Don't believe in those who say, "Life will turn out great"
The truth is very hard to see through hate and greed

I see your face every night in my dreams
And I'll be the one to take you away
