    A simple, depressing and slightly sappy song featuring nylon string guitar and vocals. I know, I know, "stick to the guitar and the metal" but well, this song needed to be done with vocals and they had to be mine so enjoy, or don't. Metal fans beware.

    Story Behind the Song
    This was one of those songs that just had to be written. One night in early December 2001, I think, I was feeling rather, well, like this song, and it just all kinda came out at once. I almost stopped after the first verse/chorus but then decided to just keep going and finished it.

    Lyrics
    To know the future releases no fear
    It still haunts me knowing you won't be near
    I can't desert you, though you wouldn't bat an eye
    I wouldn't hurt you though I couldn't if I tried

    There's no wind and there's nowhere to fly
    There's no hope for those of us who aren't afraid to die
    There's a reflection in a clear starlit sky
    I believe that some eyes should never have to cry

    Acceptance is painless, but what follows is hell
    To sit within the constant echo of a tolling bell
    Sometimes a person means so much, though we don't know why
    And all that we can do is watch them drifting by

    There's no answer to the endless whispers "why?"
    There's no solace from this ache in a lie
    With another soul this burnt spirit could reach so high
    Yet I still believe that some eyes should never cry

    I've never been this close, I've always been this far
    I've always stood alone, reaching for a star
    The empty darkness holds a space that's screaming to be filled
    Its only answer comes as each of my dreams is killed

    There's no wind and there's nowhere to fly
    I know I'll live without, but sometimes in living we still die
    Wish all of this could be understood in a single sigh
    Still I won't be there to ensure those eyes will never cry
