Touching The Earth Lyrics - Singles - James Murphy

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
