The World Is Turning the Wrong Way - Blaze Bayley

The beauty and the pain of this connection comes again

To remind me I am losing my telepathy

Thought for thought and wordless knowing

Instantaneous and growing

The deep empathic state that we once shared

The bitter truth I’m forced to swallow

Makes me choke on each tomorrow

As Hamlet’s phantom to you I must appear

The world is turning the wrong way

I feel this gravity

Pulling you away from me

The world is turning the wrong way

Now through dead eyes I see

It’s turning you away from me

They will use a blind belief to vindicate obscenity

To justify each misery that you now must endure

Question everything that you see

Promises they give so freely

Will all hide a much darker truth within

Now the importance of each moment is revealed and it’s my torment

Time will slow down but will never stop for us

The world is turning the wrong way

I feel this gravity

Pulling you away from me

The world is turning the wrong way

Now through dead eyes I see

It’s turning you away from me

I was eighteen days away

I was eighteen days away

From a moment that was already lost I just did not know

I was eighteen days away

I was eighteen days away

If I could go back and change one thing then I would be there now

You were in my hands

You were in my arms

Arms that were not strong enough to hold on

I didn’t understand

The consequences of

The smallest choices

I always believed I would have a second chance

The world is turning the wrong way

I feel this gravity

Pulling you away from me

The world is turning the wrong way

Now through dead eyes I see

It’s turning you away from me
