Temporary Peace - Anathema

"
Deep inside the silence
staring out upon the sea
the waves are washing over
half forgotten memory

Deep within the moment
laughter floats upon the breeze
rising and falling dying down within me
and I swear I never knew, I never knew how it could be
and all this time all I had inside was what i
couldn't see
I swear I never knew, I never knew
how it couldn't be
all the waves are
washing over all that hurts inside of me

Beyond this beautiful horizon
lies a dream for you and I
this tranquil scene is
still unbroken by the
rumours in the sky
but there's a storm
closing in
voices crying on the wind
the serenade is growing
colder breaks my soul
that tries to sing
and there's so many many
thoughts
when I try to go to sleep
but with you I start to feel
a sort of temporary peace
there's a drift in and out

Porcupine Tree

A song, a moment... a memory...

"When this freedom stains my coat With the winter in my throat When I’m lost I dig the dirt When I fall I drive the hearse

And silence is another way of saying what I wanna say And lying is another way of hoping it will go away And you were always my mistake

Given time I fix the roof Given cash I speak the truth

And silence is another way of saying what I wanna say And lying is another way of hoping it will go away And you were always my mistake

When I’m down I drive the hearse

When this boredom wears me out Then the sky begins to cloud Sleeping with my ball and chain When she cries I take the blame

And pride is just another way of trying to live with my mistakes Denial is a better way of getting through another day And silence is another way of saying what I wanna say And lying is another way of hoping it will go away And you were always my mistake

When I’m down I drive the hearse"
