Vox

"Vox"

In the desert
of my dreams
I saw you there
And I'm walking
towards the water
steaming body cold and bare
But your words cut loose the fire
and you left my soul to bleed
And the pain that's in
your truth's deceiving me,
has got me scared
Oh why?

Through your eyes
the strains of battle
like a brooding storm
Your up and down
these pristine velvet walls
like focus
never forms
My walls are getting wider
and my eyes are drawn astray
I see you now
a vague deception
of a dying day
Oh why?

I fall into the water
and once more
I turn to you
and the crowds were standing
staring faceless
cutting off my view to you
They start to limply
flail their bodies
in a twisted mime
And I'm lost inside
this tangled web
in which I'm lain entwined
You're gone
and I'm lost inside
this tangled web
in which I'm lain entwined
Oh why?


Sarah McLachlan
