Anna Lee
Anna Lee: A Symphony of Hurt
Lyrics
You hold this place inside my head you're a symphony of hurt
You have a significant presence in my thoughts, representing a collection of painful experiences like a musical composition.
The daylight passes through me To another crippled verse
I feel emotionally transparent, and each day brings another verse filled with struggle and hardship.
Been here once before and I know exactly where it ends;
This situation is familiar, and I anticipate the inevitable conclusion; returning to the starting point with pain symbolized by dead flowers on the bed.
Right back where we started pain dead flowers on the bed
Reverting to the beginning, facing the same pain, represented by lifeless flowers on the bed.
Anna Lee don't you cry for me
Anna Lee, please don't feel sorrow for me.
You're not as strong as you want to be
You may not possess the strength you desire.
In the dark we all see what we know
In times of darkness, our true selves are revealed based on our knowledge and experiences.
It's the space that scares us so
We fear the emptiness, the void.
You lead me to your garden where only dead things dare to grow
You guide me to a place where only lifeless things can flourish.
You convince me I deserve the thorn you've tried so hard to show
You make me believe I deserve the pain you've struggled to reveal.
Normalness escapes me to the point of no return
I feel alienated from normality, reaching a point of no return.
The memories around place keep us from movin' on
The memories surrounding this place hinder our ability to move forward.
Anna Lee don't you cry for me
Anna Lee, don't weep for me.
You're not as strong as you want to be
Your strength may not be as formidable as you aspire it to be.
In the dark we all see what we know
In the darkness, we all perceive familiar truths.
Its the space that scares us so The endless balmy air we breathe
The emptiness is unsettling, and the air we breathe feels endless.
This city's startin' to get to me tonight
The city is becoming overwhelming tonight.
I'll take the metro anywhere that isn't here
I'm willing to take the metro to escape anywhere that isn't here.
I find the comfort in the pain I always cause all night
I find solace in the pain I consistently cause throughout the night.
She says she might wait around for me
She contemplates waiting for me with a promise and a dream.
To come along with a promise and a dream
She considers waiting for my arrival, anticipating a promise and a dream.
