James Murphy Touching The Earth Lyrics

Touching The Earth Lyrics

This life, and all the things I'd known

Turned away, and left behind

The truth was buried long ago

Memories fade in passing time



For years, I felt my solitude

Never seemed to leave my side

My
way was lost forever then

All my dreams were cast aside



I
turn away but the vision of truth stains my eyes

I try to run but the
image cuts through my disguise



Beneath the emptiness, reveals my
bitterness

I cannot soon forget, this dream's not over yet

In the
land of my birth, I am still touching the earth



The fears that
kept me far away

Slowly die and draw me near

The past I sought to
bury deep

Comes again to fill my need



I cast away all the
stones that carried me down

I will return to the life that my past tried
to drown



Beneath the emptiness, reveals my bitterness

I
cannot soon forget, this dream's not over yet

In the land of my birth, I
am still touching the earth
