James Murphy - Touching The Earth lyrics

This life, and all the things I'd known Turned away, and left behind The truth was buried long ago Memories fade in pa**ing time For years, I felt my solitude Never seemed to leave my side My way was lost forever then All my dreams were cast aside I turn away but the vision of truth stains my eyes I try to run but the image cuts through my disguise Beneath the emptiness, reveals my bitterness I cannot soon forget, this dream's not over yet In the land of my birth, I am still touching the earth The fears that kept me far away Slowly die and draw me near The past I sought to bury deep Comes again to fill my need I cast away all the stones that carried me down I will return to the life that my past tried to drown Beneath the emptiness, reveals my bitterness I cannot soon forget, this dream's not over yet In the land of my birth, I am still touching the earth
