They Follow    [Tony Kakko]    I walk with the crowd, alone,  Unseen, or am I imagining?  it's easy keep hiding at home  Still healing    I teach myself how to stay calm  When they wish to behold me  They may, take and divide my time  The secret, no one told me...    Like creatures of the night, they follow...  Bearing the wrong side  Is hard for me sometimes    This need I still can recognize  To swim in the oceans of vanity  Some of us enjoy the rain  [Choir:] and thunder    For me all the shadows are bright  I'm burning in the starlight and I  Hope to feel light as a kite  And fly towards the twilight of my life    Like creatures of the night, they follow...  Bearing the wrong side  Is hard for me sometimes  And now they    have disappointed my broken heart  I'm dancing, they're demanding  The unknown and innocent days are gone  Taken without asking    Safe, further away,  I'll disappear like a mountain without a trace  They tied a knot on my life  It gets tighter when I try to hide.    "They live like the vultures, for a filthy anecdote  They go thru my bones to find just one odd note  I welcomed them kindly, thus they have the right  To leave me in darkness with my shattered heart"    A face of a newly wedded clown  Doesn't offer you the high  Now you're lower than the poor souls you feed    Built the walls out of silence  I will not be taken there anymore  What is wrong with your eyes?  Sad for the right reasons?  I'll show you the ashes of life    No empathy behind your eyes  Sleeping like an angel every night    I don't feel Safe,  Can't disappear without getting my last embrace  They tied a knot on my life  It gets tighter when I try to hide.    Safe, further away,  Can't disappear without getting my last embrace  Once the time finally comes  Will they dig me up from my unmarked grave?    these lyrics are submitted by botas
