**LYRICS**
INTRO:
Call love away
Soon we all fall away
We all see no answer now
we should find all or way back again
VERSE:
Came into this town seeking something I had not yet found
In memory of our place
Oh maybe here I will find the dearest things I dream of daily
PRE-CHORUS:
Forget about the reasons for treason, it’s not giving in
Forget about religion, finding holes, and filling them
Forget about the notion that emotions can be swept away
Forget about being guilty, be innocent instead.
CHORUS:
You seek up an emotion, and your cup is overflowing.
You seek up an emotion, and your world is dry.
You seek up any monster, for it to fight your wars for you.
But when he finds his way to you the devils not going, ha ha, ha ha
VERSE:
I left my home, left my town, left my family dry
Wondering what will become of me
I wonder here, and wonder there
And no one, no one seeking I would find their way here
PRE-CHORUS:
Forget about the reasons for the treason’s your seeking
Forget about religion, finding holes, and filling them
Forget about the notion that emotions can be cured
Forget about being guilty, be innocent instead.
CHORUS:
You seek up an emotion, your cup is overflowing.
You seek up an emotion, maybe your world is dry.
You seek up any monster, for it to fight your wars for you.
But when she finds her way to you, the devils not going, ha ha, ha ha
OUTRO:
Come back again
Finding there’s no way of knowing friends
What we have here is, not what we pretend
So we fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
