Between the Lines Songtext
von Also Eden

There′s a song deep inside
And it feels just like thunder
Like the rushing of white water
And it's bursting in your head
There′s a fist around your heart
And its grip is getting tighter
And the sweat upon your face is running
Burning in your eyes
There's no one there to help you now
This time you're really on your own

There′s no one there to show you how
You have to find


Find your own way home
Caught in the spirit of the age
I rode along the wave
A compass to the other race
The master and the slave
I played my role so easily
Wore my costume well
And slapped and stamped the backs of players
Playing the kisser′s cell

And in this life of give and take
I know it's better to receive
Than at the offer of an outstretched hand
I′d ask what can you do

What can you do for me?

Ambition take me by the hand
Guide me through the shifting sands
Lead me to that promised land
Where every man's a king
Oh, flesh of clay don′t fail me now
There has to be a way somehow
Two steps forward, three steps back
Break my heart apart at last
Show me everything I lack
Thing I lack, oh


Seems to me it seemed to be
The only way that finally
Tight closed eyes would ever see
Cracks begin to show
Swim upstream against the tide
Choke on faith and swallow pride
To find a new self deep inside
That I don't know

I don′t know
I don't know

How can you bruise the gap in your soul?

But only you can exercise your self-control
And there are people who make history
While most read history books

While some attract admiring glance
Most are scared to look
And gifted by some miracle
Who see the light
I pray to God it's bright enough
To highlight them for life
Will the signs for up and down
Be clear enough to show?
And will you know the difference?
I don′t know

All the games of age all passed away
Kept playing in someone else′s memory

Embrace the changes due to come
Exploring every possibility

No shame the glory days are gone
Farewell to broken dreams and chances missed
Farewell to hollow hearts and shallow swears
And long forgotten promises

And there we dawned
I watched the sunrise through the window of another day
I felt the shackles that had bound me
Heavy, lightly break and fade away

And if the future is an open road
I think I've learned to read the signs
And if the future is an open book
I′ve learned to read between the lines
Between the lines
Between the lines

Between the lines

Between the lines

Between the lines
Between the lines
Between the lines
Between the lines
Between the lines
Between the lines
Between the lines
Between the lines
Between the lines
Between the lines
