The Land of Make-Believe Lyrics
The Land of Make-Believe - Backandtotheleft
Picture the young one seems strong and full of life
Never questioned his spirit
Distress is left unsaid
Scars on the inside are the wounds that never heal
Wrought with neglection
Disowned and left for dead
Narrow vision
The line of sight
Casts a blinding light on the eyes of a broken soul
Picture the young one
A smile that's cursed from birth
Winter's breath shoots through his bones
His heart encased in ice
Passive aggression cruel words behind closed doors
Try in another think
It's so out of blinds
A room of strangers
A faceless crowd
Trying to break free will take it's toll
Stand beside me
Help to dispel what has been told
Offer me just one sign of relief
Hold me closely
And shelter me from the cold
Take me back to the land of make believe
Picture the aged one complexion turning gray
Must be experience that too much self
Never found the passion or the strength to seize the day
Picture out of time
Taking from this help
Picture the old one who feels his life is spent
Passes dysfunction down the family line
Generations repeat the same mistakes
Vicious circles 'til the end of time
Isolation the greatest fear
Open up it's darkest void and swallows whole
Stand beside me
Help to dispel what has been told
Offer me just one sign of relief
Hold me closely
And shelter me from the cold
Take me back to the land of make believe
Narrow vision
The line of sight
Casts a blinding light on the eyes of a broken soul
Isolation the greatest fear
Open up it's darkest void and swallows whole
Stand beside me
Help to dispel what has been told
Offer me just one sign of relief
Hold me closely
And shelter me from the cold
Take me back to the land of make believe
