From the recording Lost in the Land of Midnight Sun
Lyrics
All the people have gone
The party is over
Left on my own
To pick up the pieces
Of the false smiles
Years that I’ve known you
Seem too many miles
Nobody knows
My silent suffering
Black dog inside
Look in the mirror
I see a killer
Illness of loneliness
So hard to admit
Take me away
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but my despair
To walk through the door
Not come back any more
Vanish into thin air
To open the door
Takes a little more
Courage that’s hard to admit
All the people have gone
The party is over
Left on my own
In the early morning light
It all seems so clear
Walk up to the cliff edge
And just say goodnight
Nobody knows
They don’t care anyway
If I live or I die
Right on the cliff edge
Ready to fly
The chaos of living
I’m ready to die
Take me away
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but my despair
To open the door
Takes a little more
Honesty and courage to show
The side we don’t like
A side we hide
A side so hard to admit
Hard to admit
All the people have gone
The party is over
The choice is just mine
To pick up the pieces
Of all the lies
Years they’ve been hidden
Behind my false smiles
Everyone knows
Deep down we’re suffering
Our own black dog calls
Each one a mirror
Held to each other
Sister and brother
So hard to admit
Hard to admit
