This Close

I bought flyleafs new album pretty much the week it came out because I had been anxiously waiting since a few years before when they released their amazing first album. I love flyleaf because they not only have great music, their lyrics blow me away. This song is a favorite and the lyrics speak so much to me. It is a great song because it puts words to what it feels like to be outside of God's love. The line, "I don't know who I am anymore, not once in life have I been real, but I've never felt this close before." really encompassed who I used to be. I didn't know who I was. I saw my friends that were real and it looked appealing to me. Anyway...this song is fantastic. Click the title for a link to the song if you haven't ever heard it.

This Close-Flyleaf

Had a dream that we were dead, but we pretended that we still lived.
With no regrets we never bled and we took everything life could give
And came up broken empty handed in the end
In the hearts of the blind, something you'll never find is a vision of light
With the voice of the dead, I'm screaming

I don't know who I am anymore
Not once in life have I been real but I never felt this close before
I've been looking in your window I've been dressing in your clothes
I've been walking dead, watching you, long enough to know I can't go on.

Had a dream that fire fell from an opening in the sky
Someone warned me of this hell, and I spit in his naive eye
And left him crying for my soul he said would die.
In the hearts of the blind something you'll never find is a vision of light
With the voice of the dead I'm screaming

I don't know who I am anymore.
Not once in life have I been real, but I've never felt this close before
I've been looking in your window, been dressing in your clothes,
I've been watching you long enough to know I can't go on.

In the hearts of the blind, something you'll never find is a vision of light
With the voice of the dead, I'm screaming
