Follow Me, First Song

sinisterVT's picture

(Chorus)
Follow me into the dark
From this place and leave all of the marks
That they have left on you
Follow me without knowing
Just exactly were we are going
I'm taking you to a better place
So come now let’s leave this place
Let us fly from hear without a trace
And now you must follow me

This town has left us beaten and tattered
And you are marked with scars, town and battered
The fog has decided down and threes no telling when they will strike
But all I know is that we must get out and if you will follow me tonight
So come with me and meet me at my door,
Because I can show you things you've never seen before

(Chorus)
Follow me into the dark
From this place and leave all of the marks
That they have left on you
Follow me without knowing
Just exactly were we are going
I'm taking you to a better place
So come now let’s leave this place
Let us fly from hear without a trace
And now you must follow me

Now they come in masks for me
To take me away under lock and key
They plan to silence my thoughts and bound my eyes
To shut me up left to die
I know too much I've seen the outside
And now they must keep me from getting to far, into the truth that they try to hid
I’m leaving tonight and you must come with me
I can’t bear to leave without you beside me
Follow me without a doubt and I’ll take you to the light
Follow me now because I need you tonight

(Chorus)
Follow me into the dark
From this place and leave all of the marks
That they have left on you
Follow me without knowing
Just exactly were we are going
I'm taking you to a better place
So come now let’s leave this place
Let us fly from hear without a trace
And now you must follow me

Come with me and we'll taste the rain
Leave this blackened place and never feel the pain
The sun will lick our shoulders and we will fly in the air
Without any worry, without any sorrow, without any care
I’ll take you to the green fields outside the wall
I’ll take you to the cliffs were you and I dare not fall
I’ll watch your face as the fog is lifted and you open your eyes
To finally see what is waiting outside
Follow me without a doubt and I’ll take you to the light
Follow me now because I need you tonight

The Used

Have you heard of The Used? Kind of an alternative, emo, band, but this sounds like it could be one of their songs (well at least the lyrics, I obviously don't know the melody).

love em'

I like the way that they flow, and how they sound like a poem and not something that’s just trying to rhyme for the sake of rhyming. I think that “This town has left us beaten and tattered” that part is cool, because obviously you’re not talking about a town (or maybe you are) but it has a deeper meaning then whats on the surface.
