close your eyes and tell me what you find  don't you here the voices in your mind  where have all your lovers gone, the friends you thought you counted on  passed away like shadows lost with time    i gave you all your life to make a choice  from time to time i know you heard my voice  it wasn't just for information, i desired your conversation  all you did was drown me out with noise    when i said go you wouldn't go  i gave my hand but every time you never want to know    and so you turned away, the seasons reached their end  it took you all your days to keep me from your head  the night grew dark your eyes grew black  and soon there'll be no turning back again    are you swimming through a myriad  of spiritual decisions  are they whispering sweet nothing while they  drown you with derision  out of sight but in your mind  they're calling out they're pulling you away  deep inside you know what's right  but slowly you're believing what they say    if they said go would you go    are you orbiting the rainbow do you live to be in trances  are you lost in paranoia did you take too many chances  parasites and soul-destroyers ready for your life to drift away  deep inside they steal your mind and slowly you're repeating what they say    if they said go would you go    when every country's gone to war every dream has hit the floor  when every gene has split in two and every breath has poisoned you  only then you'll understand none of this is what i planned  but giving you the right to choose meant some of you would have to lose    when every lake is parched and dry when all pollution kills the sky  when every soul has gone it's way and every heart is old and grey  maybe then you'll understand somewhere on your wounded land  you heard my voice but chose to turn away
