Pure Lyrics by Shadows Fall

Somber Eyes to the Sky

1997

[Verse 1: Phil Labonte]
I'll not want for longing, it causes heartache
Yet this singularity burns the same

[Chorus 1: Matt Bachand, Phil Labonte]
Hope for ash of memory
(This is pure agony)
Eyes, they are too blind to see
(This is pure agony)
I'll not beg for you
(This is pure agony)
Knowing what's been true
(This is pure agony)

[Verse 1: Phil Labonte]
I'll not want for longing, it causes heartache
Yet this singularity burns the same

[Verse 2: Phil Labonte]
Fall from your light world, not again, this breeds fear
My life weakens and the pain I hold tight
Life hurts so now, I have no power here
Cease living somehow, I long to release you

[Chorus 2: Phil Labonte]
As I fall I...as I fall we cry in despair
Don't be lifeline...don't be my lifeline, let me fall away
Alone, desolate.. alone and desolate am I the only one
Can it be real... can it be real, I can't go on, no, god no

[Verse 3: Phil Labonte]
If you return here can I not ease the pain?
Forever knowing...loneliness....denial..I am the last one
Now would you look away?
Leave me alone here, that would tear me apart

[Chorus 2: Phil Labonte]
As I fall I...as I fall we cry in despair
Don't be lifeline...don't be my lifeline, let me fall away
Alone, desolate.. alone and desolate am I the only one
Can it be real... can it be real, I can't go on, no, god no

[Breakdown: Phil Labonte]
Now deliver my soul

[Bridge 1: Phil Labonte]
Your love walks away...leaves me as a child
Exposed to the horror I begin to cry
Emotions like velvet now caress my flesh...the truth that I run from

[Bridge 2: Phil Labonte]
Pure, would you run away and leave me here to suffer?
Pain, what did you want that I could not provide?
Pure, would you run away and leave me here to suffer?
Pain, what did you want that I could not provide?

[Guitar solo / instrumental break]

[Verse 2: Phil Labonte]
Fall from your light world, not again, this breeds fear
My life weakens and the pain I hold tight
Life it hurts so now, I have no power here
Cease living somehow, I long to release you

[Chorus 2: Phil Labonte]
As I fall I...as I fall we cry in despair
Don't be lifeline...don't be my lifeline, let me fall away
Alone, desolate.. alone and desolate am I the only one
Can it be real... can it be real, I can't go on, no, god no
