Mandalay - Empathy (2001) by Mandalay (보컬) on maniadb.com

You couldn't even bring yourself

To stay, oh no
You had to go
Spoil it all
I know you had to go
Now I find these endlessly
Colourblind days
To fill
You never will

(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
You understand, fine

Again
I dream
You come to me
(Come back to me)
And comfort me
But now I dream
Where did this time go
Where did this time go
Did your love go

I know
You have to go
Spoil it all
And now I know
You never will

(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
You understand, fine

(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
Again

Just what you said was cold advice
I discovered sticks go with knives
I discovered I could die in your chains
Still I feel, so won't you stay
Oh, babe

(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
You understand, fine

(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
Again

Sometimes
The reflection I see
Bears no
Resemblance to me

Sometimes
I look around the place I live
And wonder
How I came to choose the things I did

In the morning
He smiles
At the start of another day
He smiles

Kisses my shoulder
Cradles his body
Behind mine
Shin to toe to thigh to mind
Shin to toe to thigh to mind
Shin to toe to thigh to mind
Shin to toe to thigh to mind
Shin to toe to thigh to mind

Sometimes
I wake and know the time will come
The day unfolds
Someday
That everything will resonate
Flowers bloom
In desolate places

In the morning
He smiles
At the start of another day
He smiles

Kisses my shoulder
Cradles his body
Behind mine

Shin to toe to thigh to mind
Shin to toe to thigh to mind
Shin to toe to thigh to mind
Shin to toe to thigh to mind
Shin to toe to thigh to mind to mine

Sometimes it seems
All the birds are flying south
While I am grounded

One day I'll wake
And everything will resonate
Flowers bloom
In desolate places

In the morning
He smiles
At the start of another day
He smiles

Kisses my shoulder
Cradles his body
Behind mine

Shin to toe to thigh to mind
Shin to toe to thigh to mind
Shin to toe to thigh to mind
Shin to toe to thigh to mind
Shin to toe to thigh to mind to mine

I pulled a loose thread
I gathered you in
Discovered I could
A pivot for your sun

You invited me in
As if it's nothing
We tread on old ground
As if it's nothing now

It's like I hardly see the sky some days
It's like you hardly said a word
It's like I hardly see the sky some days
And I'd do better if I turned my head
Knowing you did

I wouldn't be here
If you could have said no
I wouldn't have come here
If ever I had known

It's like I hardly see the sky some days
It's like you hardly said a word
It's like I hardly see the sky some days
And I'd do better if I turned my head
Knowing you did

Knowing you called
Knowing you held her
Knowing you kissed
Knowing you did all this

It's like I hardly see the sky some days
It's like you hardly said a word
It's like I hardly see the sky some days
And I'd do better if I turned my head
Knowing you did.

If truth could speak
I need another
I swear it's due
I need another

When I
Get scared
When I recover
I'm sure that there
Can be another

And your life is chained
Close to another
Her shell is deep
In laid with trouble
A life for less
A new removal
You shed your skin
And love another

And your back isn't sore anymore
And your feet touch the ground
As you step from the wall
And you gave all you could
Given all that you saw
But dappled with love
Can you see who you are

A lot gets said
You lose another
You shed a load
And gain another

You're back in deep
You know it's over
You find yourself
And love another

And your back isn't sore anymore
And your feet touch the ground
As you step from the wall
And you gave all you could
Given all that you saw
But dappled with love
Can you see who you are

Still looking for more
Must you love another
Must you lie
Must you judge
Must you take another

On you go in the dark
One day you'll discover
That you can't understand
How to love another

Dappled with love love love
Can you see who you are
Dappled with love love love love

Come like a baby to the breast
Every inch of you to test my skin
You deepen cracks and pour in more
Still standing at the door in tears

And I feel
And do you feel
Enough love

Or do you feel
Or do you feel
Enough love is too rare

Still leaving me untied in hands
That you tied and locked away alive
Here I can't stand another scene
Can't face another day in here

And I feel
And do you feel
Enough love

Or do you feel
Or do you feel
Enough love is too rare

And I feel
And do you feel
Enough love

Or do you feel
Or do you feel
Enough love is too rare

You could weather me if I turned to stone
If I turned to stone something like a statue
You could keep me hidden in your garden
Then no one need ever know

And I feel
And do you feel
Enough love

Or do you feel
Or do you feel
Enough love is too rare

And I feel
And do you feel
Enough love

Or do you feel
Or do you feel
Enough love is too rare

Taken that vow,
you know he's
taken by now.
Upset you talked you
talked you all 'round,
in sympathy, girl.

Walk by the sea, forgive me all my sins.
Sift through my memory and find where I begin.
Lie in the warm sand, dig in my heels.
Cry for my dead child forget how that feels.

Closer to home.
He cuts you,
close to the bone.
He won't leave you
It's too far to crawl,
and everyone knows

Walk by the sea, forgive me all my sins.
Sift through my memory and find where I begin.
Lie in the warm sand, dig in my heels.
Cry for my dead child forget how that feels.

I can feel myself rising
I can feel myself rising
(walk by the sea, forgive me all my sins)

Walk by the sea, forgive me all my sins.
Sift through my memory and find where I begin.
Lie in the warm sand, dig in my heels.
Cry for my dead child forget how that feels.

Walk by the sea, forgive me all my sins.
Sift through my memory and find where I begin.
Lie in the warm sand, dig in my heels.
Cry for my dead child forget how that feels.

Three, four, three, four ...

I want you now as then
Don't tell me you want to stay
Too much time now has passed
Too too soon nothing to do

I was only thinking I would right
Now and then I need a little sting
I was only trying not to second guess
Why you came but

Since I left you
I'm chasing opposites
Things that you do
Pay on my mind till I sets hard i can't
I can't see when you go
I can't see when you go
Silence away, silence with things
No reason why should stay
When you know what to say
To talk me

Talk is cheap
That look of yours
Too too cold
Now the cold
Could you feel ( could you feel )
So ravage and misunderstood
Everything cha, cha, changed
Nothing remains

So consider now
When it was easy
Knowing what you do and what you gave
I was sealing knowing what was to be
My mistake but

Since I left you
I'm chasing opposites
Things that you do
Pay on my mind till I sets hard i can't
I can't see when you go
I can't see when you go
Silence away, silence with things
No reason why should stay
When you know what to say
To talk me

That you will never see X6
That will never step on me
A sense of, since i left you

Since I left you
I'm chasing opposites
Things that you do
Pay on my mind till I sets hard i can't
I can't see when you go
I can't see when you go
Silence away, silence with things
No reason why should stay
When you know what to say
To talk me

When when I met you
Evidently
You knew
Underneath your kiss
I was fooled
Evidently
Seems without you
I'm folding

This time last year, you were here
This time last year, you were here
This time last year, you were here

Said I missed you
How can I choose
Tell me shut up and do something
Without you here i'm in two
Cutting into
Scenes without you
Unfolding

This time last year, you were here
This time last year, you were here
This time last year, you were here

In all my innocence
I'm running 'round
In circles you won't allow
Against your bittersweet indifference tears

I'm running 'round

This time last year, you were here
This time last year, you were here
This time last year, you were here

nothing you say can hurt me now
with this space I fell I fall
this strange river is deep and I
into the dark I dive

I took leave kissing the day
took leave kissing your mouth supportively
kissing the day

it took some time for me to try
to learn to love this child of mine
not for nothing she survived
into this space I feel to find

I took leave kissing the day
took leave kissing your mouth supportively
kissing the day

your saddest hour is too late so cry
your tears could be your saddest now

I took leave kissing the day
took leave kissing your mouth supportively
kissing the day

You can depend on certainty
Count it out and weigh it up again
You can be sure
You've reached the end
And still you don't feel
Do you know you're beautiful
Do you know you're beautiful
Do you know you're beautiful
You are yes you are

You can ignore
What you've become
Take it out and see it die again
You can be here
For who's a friend
And still you don't feel
Do you know you're beautiful
Do you know you're beautiful
Do you know you're beautiful
You are yes you are
Innermost thoughts
Will be understood and
You can have all you need

Do you know you're beautiful
Do you know you're beautiful
Do you know you're beautiful
You are yes you are

I counted down
Just like you did before you said
It's too short how long I said
Is too short
Who's to blame

I contemplate if it's true
I'm born to remain star-crossed seems
He couldn't be respectable
Discreet

And if I found
What she said was true
What she said about you
What she said trust you
I should have known
When you said that you'd choose me

All that I want
Is to see some truth reflected
And to learn somehow
And to be strong somehow
In the state of mind
I'm in

And if I found
What she said was true
What she said about you
What she said trust you
I should have known
When you said that you'd choose me

Seperate stay strong
Seperate be bold
Seperate be brave
Seperate you'll grow
Seperate be brave
Seperate stay

And if I found
What she said was true
What she said about you
What she said trust you
I should have known
When you said that you'd choose me.
