Unforbidden shadows of you formed yesterday

I ran away to a room here on the bay

Interrupted life again, another new beginning

Where the silence echoes you're no longer with me



Here and now, i feel that i'm embracing freedom

Even though i may be alone, but that's ok



Through the darkness i would walk in the streets

Confessions never seemed to provide me with a release

Held me down and tried to cure me tried to give me reason

But nothing could separate this burdened mind from me



Here and now, i feel that i'm embracing freedom

Even though i may be alone, but that's ok

And looking out to a different sky will disengage me

Absence is never the answer, i know, but it serves as my shade



I do not seek and do not intend to find

A calmer ocean or a sun that will never rise

My world will never change and time will bring you to my thoughts

And i'll move on and then forget you all over again

Moving on, i can forgive you all over again



Here and now, i feel that i'm embracing freedom

Even though i may be alone, but that's ok

And looking out onto a different sky it seems so easy

Absence is never the answer, i know, but it serves as my shade
