Tantalus (06.51) Lyrics - Pepper's Ghost - Tina Arena

Standing in water, but dying of thirst 

This is my thanks and this is my curse 

Try as I might, the fruit on the trees 

All remain beyond reach, beyond wishes or pleading for 

One last chance 

Waiting for time to pass me by 

Waiting for freedom, waiting to die 

Where can I go, in a world without hope? 

There is never a place for a soul that has broken so 

Trust in no one - Trust in no one 

Linking the chains that weigh down your reason 

Nothing to blame, but the actions you choose 

Driven insane by the conscience of treason 

Running in vein from a life of abuse

Every Lyric From The Weeknd's New EP 'My Dear Melancholy,' 

The closer I get the further I am 

The journey I make is the course of the damned 

The distance I go is no distance at all 

And I climb to the sky but find myself falling so 

Trust in no one - Trust in no one 

Quench my thirst - Fill my heart 

Feed my mind - Don't leave me starving 

Hold my hand - stay close by 

Talk to me - Don't leave me crying here 

Standing in water, yet dying of thirst 

This is my thanks and this is my curse 

Empty forgiveness for old indiscretions 

And such condemnation for just one transgression 

Find me now - set me free 

Find me now - set me free

Waiting for time to pass me by 

Waiting for freedom, waiting to die 

Why do you smile at my timeless ordeal here 

And why do you laugh at my hopeless appeal for your mercy? 

Tear away the chains - Free me now 

No one else to blame Let me go 

Tear away the chains - Free me now 

Driving me insane Let me go 

Tear away the chains - Free me now 

No one else to blame Let me go 

Tear away the chains - Free me now 

Driving me insane Let me go
